Description Jacky is a smart, enterprising young blackfella in the big city. He skilfully negotiates the gig economy, skipping neatly from office internships to cultural performances to sex work. When Jacky's unemployable little brother Keith rolls into town, Jacky's carefully compartmentalised lives are thrown onto a collision course.
Jacky is a sharp, quick-witted play about family, community, work and culture that examines the personal costs of navigating it all in contemporary Australia.
