Grimly Handsome by Julia Jarcho

Grimly Handsome by Julia Jarcho

Last night I woke up and found that I was not at home. And I was not wearing my own clothes. And then I wasn’t sure. Maybe they were my clothes, and I was someone else. In an unnamed American city, two strangers sell Christmas trees on the sidewalk; two cops work to solve a killing spree; and a young woman finds herself transforming in ways she could never have imagined. A darkly comic thriller exploring the margins of a city and the violent fantasies they inspire. Julia Jarcho’s Obie Award-winning American play has its UK premiere at The Site, a new space at the Royal Court in December 2017.

It is wrong to tell you too much about GRIMLY HANDSOME, Julia Jarcho’s superbly wicked caprice…It’s much better to awaken slowly to the creepiness of Jarcho’s deep, dark woods, to go blithely into her Grimm landscape, which rustles with talking animals, smiling predators and language gone elliptical and awry…Jarcho, directing her own work, pulls off miracles* Time Out, New York *
(a) poetic and often very funny script. * New York Times *
