Directed by Anthony Fox
Performed by Michael Patrick and Brendan Quinn
‘Jade City’ is Alice’s third play. She wrote it under pressure, during the month when she lived in a run-down house in an area where the play is based. This is her first work about men.
‘Jade City’ explores the relationship between Tony and Monty, and their vibrant and imaginative escapism as they struggle to cope with the drudgery and mundanity of their lives. It questions the bonds of friendship, and the culture of toxic masculinity which allows damaging and violent behavior to be accepted.
