VOLUntEER FORM

By Matt Banes & Tim Marriott

“163 to win in twenty overs, we’ve got this – come on!”​

The chase is on! Can Jack lead his team to victory?

‘Sensitive, wryly humorous… a tour de force of a performance’

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  ChiswickW4

Former professional cricketer Jack gives his team talk, but as wickets fall like a ticking time bomb so the anecdotes from the ashes of his career prove less than inspirational…

As Jack pads up to be the last man in to go out and save the day, Jack’s Ashes offers a humorous insight into the mental frailties that can cloud the mind and the distractions that can lead to ruin.

“You don’t need to be a cricket fan to enjoy this … it’s worth the trip” Chiswick Calendar​

Jack is performed by veteran theatre and TV all-rounder Tim Marriott (BBC TV’s The Brittas Empire) 

Don’t be caught out, get on the front foot, score your tickets before they run out!
