WRITER & PERFOMER

Jade is an actor, writer and director from Merseyside. The inclusion and celebration of work from and for

working class people is vital to Jade’s creative process and believes that the work that goes into building

and maintaining relationships with the communities who come to the theatre is as important as the work

that goes into creating the shows themselves. She often works with theatres and producers to engage with

and radically invite audiences who may not otherwise feel welcome. Acting/writing credits include: SAGA

(BBC Radio 4), Hot In Here (Gate Theatre), One Night Stand with Felix Mufti (Royal Court), Run and

Painkiller (Theatre Royal Stratford East). Outreach credits include: Retrograde (The Apollo), Death of

England (Soho Place), Hot Wing King (The National Theatre), SEEN Lewisham Festival (Nouveau

Riche/Catford Broadway), For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy

(Royal Court Theatre, The Apollo, Garrick).
