A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Short Play, Drama / 3w, 3m
James Meteyard, Maimuna Memon
Jessie’s sick of Leeds.
A city she thought she would never leave.
But the aimlessness of the people
she once believed she would always need
is suffocating.
Wondering whether she’s had enough,
in a dirty nightclub not too far off,
Jessie’s blinded by the light of Allie Touch,
a singer song-writer with a taste for big ambitions,
amongst some other stuff.
Feeling rough in the five in the morning sunlight,
Jessie’s sight is fixed on the path that Allie lights
And like a moth to a flame in the night,
She ignites.
Written in spoken word poetry and underscored entirely by original music created live, Electrolyte is an explosive piece of gig-theatre exploring grief, depression and psychosis.
Electrolyte is the winner of the 2018 LET Award and its development was supported by The Watermill Theatre and Theatr Clwyd.
Electrolyte previewed at Theatre503 on 23 and 24 July 2018. It then ran from 1–27 August at QueenDome, Pleasance at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2018. It then played at 32 venues across the UK and Ireland during the spring/summer 2019.

Jessie should be played by one performer. The text should be more or less entirely underscored by live music that should be performed by actor-musicians who also play the other characters. The production should be presented as if it were a gig. The characters of Allie and Mum should be played by the same performer.
“… packs a pretty hard punch, brutally and beautifully exploring the psychological trauma of grief.” – The Stage
The text should be more or less entirely underscored by live music that should be performed by actor-musicians who also play the other characters.
