About Lockdown Projections
Lockdown Projections presents Jealousy Play at Clover Studio at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe — a psychologically driven solo performance following Joanne, who has spent years working towards a life on stage, while Neptune arrives there effortlessly. As their paths keep crossing, comparison turns corrosive and envy becomes obsession. Joanne must confront the trauma, class barriers and survival instincts that shape her ambition. The piece is an intimate exploration of burnout, neurodivergence and the cost of pursuing a creative life while carrying old wounds.
Why see this show?
A solo performance that gets under the skin — Jealousy Play takes the quiet cruelty of comparison and traces exactly where it leads, with honesty and theatrical precision.
