Miss Jackson Pulled at Parklife
The Empty Space Theatre, SALFORD, M50 2GL
A Brand New Comedy by MaD Theatre Company
Fri 21 Nov, 7.30pm
Miss Jackson teaches Dance at a dead rough school and is putting on a production of Bugsy Malone with her dead rough kids. To reward them with their efforts, and to show them how cool she is, she joins them at Parklife in Heaton Park to party. However when an unexpected admirer cops off with her whilst she’s watching rapper, 50 Cents, all their lives take an amazing turn.
Miss Jackson Pulled at Parklife has been inspired by Dennis Potter’s play, Blue Remembered Hills where the kids’ characters are played by adults. Our play highlights contemporary life in a fictitious local high school and how the lives and attitudes of today’s youth are seen through those who are (quite a bit) older.
From the producers of Nanna’s OnlyFans Film and Tony Monroe is Dead, Miss Jackson Pulled at Parklife is an irreverent commentary on today’s society and promises to be a bit naughty and a lot funny.
Contains Adult Humour.
Tickets £14, Concessions £12
