Mad Jacks is a queer and trans* led theatre company founded in June 2023 to coincide with a site-specific production of Travis Alabanza’s OVERFLOW staged in a women’s toilet at King’s College London. From this part mental/part magic springboard, Mad Jacks’ projects have straddled new writing, scratch/work-in-progress nights and dance-theatre for venues across London. Projects include: SCENES WITH BOYS at Riverside Studios (Bitesize Award for Best Direction); PHOTOGRAPHS at The Space; and ACNE ROMEO for Resolution Festival at The Place. Alongside artistic director Sam Smith, Mad Jacks has a merry band of associate artists: Danielle James, Georgie Lynch, Jess Senanayake, Rachel Andrews, Kate McNally and Daze Hingorani. They are very proud and excited to debut at CPT with their new project: THIS SWOLLEN THING.
