In Part 2 Jenny: Find your borrowers card to join our next Dad?, a full-blooded librarian, playing family court judges and illiterate lovers to find honour and realistic literary heroes in a world gone large print and trash-romance mad. Dubious sanity, uncertain identity intertwine with wit, humour, rage and love.
Mind-boggling Genius!! Funny, Touching.
Jennys a Brightonian 40-something librarian. Lacking much of a love life, she watches people use the library to enhance their fantasy love lives or develop their internet relationships. Then she meets young Billy, starts a physical relationship, and helps him with his reading.
A feast of good writing and classy acting.
But Jenny is an unusual father, and is fighting a legal battle for access to her own child, Timothy. Almost seduced by her own unawares father and despite being denied access to her son, Jenny turns to Shakespeare, her ability to shape-shift and falling youth library-attendance figures to engineer an innocent encounter with her son, to tell him what lies in her heart. The ingenious meta-theatre plan that requires even more wit than even she had expected to employ, sees a man playing a man playing a woman playing a woman playing a man making love to a man, and enables a veritable host of new and surprising relationships to open up for her?. Not least with herself. Written and performed by Jonathan Brown.
(About 90 mins, one interval. You can see Part 2 without having seen Part 1.The language is strong. Refreshments available.)

Funny and deeply touching I was completely riveted. Excellent!
Best theatre show I have seen in years.
