About this show
Jesse is 25, from Hull. A carer on minimum wage, keeping the elderly alive while trying to hold together her own chaotic life. Told over one relentless night, we follow her from care shift to dance floor, from late-night kebab to early-morning callout, as she battles a system that undervalues her whilst her mind refuses to slow down. Both political and deeply personal, Jesse North is Broken is a raw, funny and unflinching portrait of working-class survival in modern Britain. 'An outstanding piece of contemporary theatre: funny, heartbreaking and fiercely humane' * (FairyPoweredProductions.com).
