All of Us (NHB Modern Plays)

By Francesca Martinez

Jess has a great life: a job she loves, a sharp sense of humour and a close group of friends.

When austerity threatens the world she has worked hard to build, Jess makes a stand to protect those she holds most dear.

Capturing the humour, sadness and joy of everyday life, Francesca Martinez's play All of Us is a passionate and timely look at the human cost of abandoning those who struggle to fit in.

It premiered at the National Theatre, London, in 2022, in a production directed by Ian Rickson, with an ensemble cast featuring Francesca Martinez in the role of Jess.
