Three adaptations by Howard Colyer have been staged at the Jack in the last eighteen months - KAFKA V KAFKA, TROJAN WOMEN and MANDRAKE. Now Ballast Theatre are staging three of his original plays in one show.

NOTHING ELSE EVER, a confession, directed by Sarah Marr.

The plays will run from tonight, 27 August - Saturday, 7 September at 7.45 p.m. at the Brockley Jack Studio Theatre. Tickets are £10 (£8 concessions) and can be reserved online at www.brockleyjack.co.uk or by calling 0844 8700 887.
