Time to meet our cast!!!! Meet Jae O'Connor, playing Jae! Jae is a performer and director who works in theatre, occasionally radio and telling stories with dice. They directed such self-described "hits" as Spring Awakening in Smock Alley, Antony & Cleopatra with the Dublin Shakes and Venom so Sweet at Theatre Upstairs. Jae founded Charisma Check in 2017 with Jessy and they have been using it almost exclusively as a method of making each other laugh ever since, in the process producing a catalogue of very strange plays, like "There's Gonna Be A Shoot-Out, "Tragedy is for Tall People", "You've got it, Boss!" and "The Argument" which was about an argument. At Scene and Heard 2025, they staged “Bird Face, But It’s A Mask”, Jae’s first foray into what they call “writing a proper play”. Last November this duo brought you Murder is for Other People, which did a nearly sold out run in Smockalley Theatre.

SURPRISE!!!! We have another show. It has a boat... Two people are on a boat. How did they get on the boat? Unknown. Where is the boat going? Unclear. Who does the boat belong to? Unimportant. Nothing gets figured out. Nobody learns anything. They remain on the boat.
