Former professional cricketer Jack gives his team talk, but wickets fall like a ticking time bomb and the anecdotes from the ashes of his career prove less than inspirational…
As Jack pads up to be the last man in to go out and save the day, ‘Jack's Ashes’ offers a humorous insight into the mental frailties that can cloud the mind and the distractions that can lead to ruin.
Developed in consultation with professional sports bodies and mental health charities, Jack's Ashes is designed to engage through humour to reduce stigma and promote conversation about mental fitness. The piece was developed with support from Arts Council England and is presented in partnership with Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers Association.
Performed by Tim Marriott (BBC TV's Brittas Empire), winner Dark Chat Award for Best Performance at Edinburgh Festival 22. JACK's ASHES has just returned from a sell out tour in Australia -
"Fantastic. A serious message but delivered with a lot of laughs. I cannot recommend it highly enough" Bunbury Fringe
