Berk’s Nest in association with Soho Theatre and Curtis Brown present Jack Rooke's Good Grief: a decade retrospective of capitalising on my dead dad to varied levels of failure and success BAFTA-winning writer and recovering spoken-word artist Jack Rooke (Creator of Hulu / C4’s Big Boys) brings back his debut comedy-theatre show ‘Good Grief’, a decade on from it launching his career. Featuring the original show (co-written with his 80-year old Nan Sicely) and some present day musings, this retrospective further explores grief, ambition, being a class traitor, milking having a dead dad for personal / professional gain, the innocence of writing just for oneself before the interference of "telly w*nkers", and the palpable regret of his own decline into becoming said "telly w*nker". Directed by Gabriel Bisset-Smith (now also a telly w*nker). 'Good Grief 2.0 [is] a delightful and still affecting watch' Guardian 'Engaging, frank and humorous.’ New York Times 'A delight... cheerily but sensitively tackling the most painful of subjects and finding hope in them' ★★★★ Scotsman
