A second bite of the cherry for zany Jezebel

HAVING debuted in 2012, Rough Magic’s sex comedy Jezebel is back for a second bite of the cherry.

A zippy and zany play, Jezebel makes fun of contemporary sexual mores and the bizarre information society we now live in. It won writer Mark Cantan the coveted Stewart Parker Prize last year. The Rough Magic production is touring nationwide before travelling to Glasgow and Paris.

“The Paris date is a lovely treat,” says Dublin actor Valerie O’Connor, who reprises her role as Jezebel. “Of course, now all my family are saying, ‘oh, maybe we’ll come to Paris to see you.’ I’m like ‘Are you going to Paris just to see Paris?’. Because the show is in Dublin if you want to go see it there.”
