Jellyfish

Growing up, Alice was promised the world.

What happened? Jellyfish follows ten years of her life from Belfast to London. Fuelled by the rawness of the city, it's about mind-numbing minimum wage jobs, late nights, early mornings and having a really great time. It's about questioning everything and the whole world shattering around us and what it means to be from Generation Y.

Reviews

  • As the intense pace of the monologue ebbs back and forth, the personal and the political become porous

    Broadway World

  • Belfast is painted in vividly hedonistic fashion

    Irish Times

  • Jellyfish is like nothing else. It’s a stunning piece - deceptively simple and engagingly complex. Alice Malseed is a messenger bringing news from the end of a world. Her language brilliantly captures the spirit of a time; a time of wild hope and clawing doubt. It twists and turns with the raw linguistic energy of what it means to be young, alive and 'on one’. It’s brave and singular work - vibrant, questioning, truthful
