Melbourne Theatre Company presents
Jacky
Declan Furber Gillick
Jacky is a smart, enterprising young blackfella in the big city. He skilfully negotiates the gig economy, skipping neatly from office internships to cultural performances to sex work. When Jacky’s unemployable little brother Keith rolls into town, Jacky’s carefully compartmentalised lives are thrown onto a collision course.
Directed by Mark Wilson, Jacky follows up playwright Declan Furber Gillick’s multi-award-winning play Bighouse Dreaming. It’s a disarming and original play that asks what really matters.
