Don’t Stress Jess

Leeds Playhouse, 2020

During lockdown Leeds Playhouse asked me to create something with a group of Year 11s who had left school early due to the pandeminc. Lots of companies were trying out Zoom performances, but I wanted to go for something different. Over 8 weeks we created an interactive ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’-style story, following Jess on her journey to find happiness.
