'What makes Strawberry Jack linger is its honesty. It’s a story about masculinity, violence, and the myths men build around themselves — but it’s also about the tiny flickers of hope that survive even in the darkest corners.

A fierce, atmospheric standout. One of O’Byrne’s most gripping creations — tragic, tender, and unforgettable...'

Absolute Diamond of a review for Sunday's show, huge thanks to Kevin Eccleston of Liverpoolnoise.com


Floral Pavilion

As a part of the Paradise Heights series Starwberry Jack came to the Floral Pavilion, New Brighton on 28 June.

A show a week this month! There are no brakes on the Tales from Paradise Heights ghost train. All quality productions with stunning performances from quality casts, great back stage work from in house creatives in sound and vision, bringing tales to theatres and wonderful audiences all around the United Kingdom. Age isn't slowing me down, it's just a number.

I want to say a HUUUUUUUGE thanks to that wonderful, wonderful audience in Shrewsbury last night, I could even see you all fully immersed in I’m Frank Morgan - RewiRED last night. He’s a character and I’m more than sure you felt his presence 😂😈

It was a privilege to play in front of you, it always is, but last night was extra special, and going up against Simon and Garfunkel in the big house! You made the right decision and I thank you from the bottom of my haunted heart. Lovely Q&A with you all at the end, and thank you so much for coming along. Big thanks to all at Theatre Severn.

Oh, and on a spooky note: When Frank sent that table up in the air and across the stage, one playing card stayed stuck to the table, only one…The Ace of Spades! ♠️ spoooooky 😈

See you all at The Haunting of Blaine Manor on Halloween 🎃

😘❤️x

I'M FRANK MORGAN - REWIRED: A Tale from Paradise Heights
Written & Directed by Joe O’Byrne
Nominated for the Salford Star Best Play of the Year Award
Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, Sunday 21st June 2026

'If you haven’t been to watch any of the ‘Paradise Heights’ plays – do so as soon as possible. They are dark, funny, terrifying, sad, and most of all, they are unlike anything else currently on offer.' MYSTERIOUS TIMES

Some say he’s the Devil himself. Frank Morgan, gangster, loan shark, poker player, and owner of The Ace of Spades Club. He rules Paradise Heights with an iron hand and a cold reptilian charm. A cunning and ruthless sociopath, a butcher, a monster — with a dangerously sharp intelligence. He’s faced down the hardest men ever to walk the Heights, and they all ended up broken... or buried.

Something twisted and sinister is alive in Paradise Heights. A malevolent and supernatural force perhaps drawn to Frank’s dark allure - or by the mysterious, seductive Eva, ‘The Queen of Hearts’ the singer of The Ace of Spades. Eva is the one woman Frank fell for; a woman who carried her own dark secret and horrifying curse.

The Crime King is not dead, he is rising, bloodied and scarred with a defiance born of Hell and a roaring determination to hang on to his throne and he’s setting up for a brutal last stand. Come Hell, come all.

But waiting in the dark, is his most dangerous opponent of them all…
