Jacky’s a smart, enterprising young blackfella who has made a life for himself in Melbourne. He’s got the hang of the 21st century. Negotiating the gig economy? No worries. Slipping from office internships to cultural performances? No probs. Sex work? Pays the bills. But when Jacky’s unemployable little brother Keith rolls into town, Jacky’s various lives in the white world threaten to come undone.
Whip-smart and utterly of the here-and-now, this wink-of-the-eye, award-winning play of private life, work life, and that thing called ‘culture’ comes to Belvoir after an acclaimed premiere season in Melbourne.
1hr 40min. No Interval.
