Open Works Festival Presents a work in progress performance of Tuesdays at Tesco's

‘I am as I am. Myself me and that’s that.’  

Every Tuesday Jacqueline goes back to her home town and loyally spends the day with her father, tidies his home, does his ironing. Then they go to Tesco. Every Tuesday.   

All eyes are on Jacqueline when they go shopping. They know her, you see. Before Jacqueline, her name was something else. A dead name. And to her father she remains that dead name, despite all appearances to the contrary. Told through the eyes of a woman facing the wind of an ever-growing social and political storm against her kind, Jacqueline must navigate her way through it to reach her father and hold on to the last family she has left. Whatever the cost.  

A touching one-person play about identity, returning home and the complexity of family and legacy.

The performances of Tuesdays At Tesco's at Open Works Festival are dedicated to the memory of Daniel Thorpe.
