A blisteringly funny, award-winning, five-star hit from Edinburgh Fringe of class and privilege.
Five-star, smash-hit, award-winning, sell-out masterpiece! A darkly funny and politically sharp story of class, survival, and double standards. Jade, a working-class Scouser at Cambridge, secretly works as a cleaner to make ends meet—breaking college rules while juggling ambition, privilege, and identity. Her journey is a hilarious and moving dive into belonging and the absurdity of privilege. Winner of The Scotsman’s Fringe First Award, The Holden Street Theatres Award, and The Filipa Bragança Award.

Jade Franks
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).
