Over and Out

"NEVER become a truck driver!" - A young Jackson Burling took that advice, avoiding the fork in the road, but now, after a long and gruelling two year slog in the arts industry he must confront that age old question: "why not, Dad?" - and take us along for the ride.
In ‘Over and Out’, premiering at the 2025 TAHI Festival, he’ll bring you a REAL interview, a BIG character, and even bigger QUESTIONS to the stage. One actor. 50 minutes. Countless emotional potholes ‼️
Along the way, we get a rare look into the gritty, heartfelt, and often-overlooked life of one of Aotearoa’s essential workers — the truck driver 🚛
Is the open road calling — or is the stage his true destination?
Buckle up. This is verbatim theatre with serious mileage.
Created and Performed by Jackson Burling
Directed by Simon Leary | Produced by Tom Smith
