16 Postcodes - script book

A joyful, poignant debut, 16 Postcodes takes a journey through an impenetrable city with an all-too-open heart. Described by Lyn Gardner as a born tt, in this solo show Jessica Regan shares lessons lived and learned from a life in no particular order. Each show is drawn from true tales of love and landlords, of mice and men and more, told with help from the audience who will play their part in shaping her odyssey as she moves north, south, east and west, finding out which is best.

From the council flat, the fancy west London period conversion, the friends’ interim sofa-beds, the green of Greenwich and the grey of Acton the show asks how can one city hold so many different homes for one person? While these different abodes reflect uncertainty and struggle, they also promise adventure and discovery; each postcode holds a defining experience in some shape or form – be it funny, sad, or dramatic. Where will she go? How does this end? Regan is curious about that herself…

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you’ll rent cos you can't afford to buy...
