SHOW INFORMATION

From the award winning writer/director of The Haunting of Blaine Manor and The Bench: A Tale from Paradise Heights Joe O’Byrne…

Strawberry Jack : A Tale from Paradise Heights

‘Deuces are wild – not One Eyed Jacks…’ 

Strawberry Jack Grundy was a wild child that grew into a ferocious man. Once the War Horse of Paradise Heights, recent events have stacked the deck firmly against the One Eyed Jack of gangster Frank Morgan’s The Ace of Spades Nightclub. He is now a fading shadow of the man he once was.

But the rescue of a girl on the mean streets of Paradise Heights thrusts Jack into a situation he has never faced before, untapped feelings stir, and a frozen heart begins to melt. But One Eyed Jacks aren’t always lucky; someone wants Jack dead by Christmas. They say Christmas is a time for Angels…a time for miracles. Well Jack may have found his Angel.  Now all he needs is a miracle…

Featuring characters from The Bench: A Tale from Paradise Heights and Rank: A Tale from Paradise Heights 

Reviews:

The dialogue is pungently, darkly witty, shot through with unforced pathos and flashes of real poetry.  But it’s also Paradise Heights, and even Charles Dickens wouldn’t go there without someone riding shotgun.  With a master storyteller’s skill, O’Byrne sets up all of the mechanisms that we know will damn and destroy his protagonist, then puts them into motion…Strawberry Jack finds Joe O’Byrne at the top of his (considerable) game…5 Star Review. Steve Balshaw, Grimmfest

The birth of yet another classic piece of theatre from the mighty Joe O’Byrne. He unleashed his latest creation, ‘Strawberry Jack’ this week, and delivered yet another 5 star effort. Strawberry Jack’ has more twists and turns than Tarantino, a good deal more originality than any Guy Ritchie geezer-fest, and comes straight from the heart. Strawberry Jack firmly cements O’Byrne’s reputation as a first rate writer/director and the new Jimmy McGovern.  Brian Gorman, The Reviews Hub 

Strawberry Jack finished in the Top 50 of the Best of 2011 from over 2000 shows reviewed by the Reviews Hub that year, including West End productions.
