Pretty Red Dress

Travis has just been released from prison and it quickly becomes apparent that much has changed while he’s been gone. While girlfriend Candice is on the up and auditioning to star in a Tina Turner musical, daughter Kenisha is struggling in school and her relationship with her mum is tense. So, when Travis buys Candice her dream dress for an audition, rather than smoothing over the family’s problems, it ends up creating even more. As secrets and desires left unsaid threaten to spill out, Travis is forced to re-examine who he is and how he wants to be perceived in the world.

Biography

Jazz is a gender fluid artist, based on the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire. She works mainly onstage, and her recent credits range from Shakespeare (Cassius in Julius Caesar at the Roman Verulamium), to Ibsen (Nora Helmer in Schoolhouse Productions' critically acclaimed A Doll's House), to Lecoq clowning (Sherlock Holmes in The Accidental Adventures of Sherlock Holmes). Jazz identifies a trans* gender fluid actor, and uses female (her) or neutral (they) pronouns. Jazz is an established pantomime principle boy / girl, and has worked numerous pantos both static and touring. She is a strong alto, with musical theatre credits ranging from Rouse Ye Women to Fat Shirley's Trailer Park Opera. She also plays basic descant recorder and guitar. When not at work, Jazz is a volunteer with her local food bank and police service, having served each for nearly five years. As well as the benefit of helping people in need, and giving back to the community, these keep her ear to the ground and help her stay on top of current events and hidden stories. This side of her life brings an edge and grit to her performances, and gives her a drive for larger social change. While working abroad in Germany, she volunteers with the local café for the homeless.
