Abstract
“Last 29 years... You haven’t had to make any decisions. I’ve paid every bill, made every sacrifice… But now… You made a choice. You’re gonna have to face the consequence.”
Anne is tired. Tired of menopause. Tired of working in a dying NHS. And tired of her lazy sexist husband Don. But they’ve been together 29 years. They know each other inside out. They’ve survived so much.
Then COVID-19 plunges the country into lockdown, forcing them to isolate together. After all, the home is a place of safety… isn’t it?
As the world falls apart outside, Anne and Don’s marriage slowly falls apart inside. But soon there will be a solution. Won’t there? Inspired by true events, Jab is a black comedy-drama exploring power, gender, domestic violence, conspiracy theories, ignorance and the limits of love.
Jab premiered at the Finborough Theatre on 20 February 2024. Directed by Scott Le Crass, the production featured Kacey Ainsworth and Liam Tobin.
