About this show
A woman travels across Europe pursuing a man she barely knows. Captivated by the memory of his eyes, she follows clues – always just missing him. A solo show about following your heart and taking leaps of faith into the unknown. What begins as a search for Max becomes something deeper: the discovery of a new, unexpected life. Jackie is a playwright and performer whose work has been staged in New York City, Los Angeles, Paris, and Stockholm. She returns to the Edinburgh Fringe to debut Dreaming of Max.
