JUMP
by Nick Maynard
The canal draws people to it… and so it was for Rob.
One night, as he contemplates his life and the lure of the water, a handsome young man engages him in conversation, and so begins a strange and fractious relationship that could just prove beneficial to them both.
JUMP is a dark comedy that takes an unusual look at contemporary gay life – exploring the possibility of relationships and how they’re not always the way we imagine them.
Developed through Qweerdog's new writing project, Qweer Shorts, JUMP is written by award-winning writer, Nick Maynard (QUARANTEEN, V International Young Theatre Play Writing Contest); and directed by West End theatre director, Scott Le Crass (ROSE, starring Maureen Lipman, Hope Mill Theatre & Ambassadors Theatre, London; TOXIC, HOME, Manchester).
'Dylan-Campbell and Kane bring the heart of this story to life with genuine emotion and intensity.' - Canal St Online
Initially featuring as a short at Hope Mill's LGBTQ+ Turn On Fest in 2023, the script was developed into a one-act play, and had the honour of closing Turn On Fest 2024.
Qweerdog’s Stewart Dylan-Campbell, plays the weary and embittered Rob, whilst Aiden Kane, plays his young, chopsy, adversary, Marc.
Join us as we explore the lives, love-lives and past lives of these two lost souls!
