But this is no ordinary woman\, and t his is Hackney in 2233. Jones’ body is covered in tattoos but she wants to add one final inking to her gallery – a thin line of ink mixed with b lood that connects her body art together\, creating a unique map.\n\nAs th e two artists set to work\, Jones tells them the story behind each tattoo. As Jones is no ordinary woman\, these are no ordinary stories: each one r epresents a doorway to a life Jones fell into\, a ‘remembering’. Some of these lives were in the past\, others in the future\, some are sideways \, but each of them connects Jones to the two tattoo artists in some way\, though they are unaware of it.\n\nWe visit the dystopian cities of the Qu iet Men\, the coal mines of 19th century Lancashire\, join a gang of vigil ante sex workers\, enter the world of an INCEL murderer\, haunt the old Ma ryville gay bar\, and uncover plans to genetically modify female children. Each of the stories brings us closer to Jones’ truth\, and how her life is intricately interwoven with that of the women tattooing her body.\n\nS et across geographies and timespans\,The Night Alphabet is a dazzlingly b old and original work\, a deep investigation into human nature and violenc e against women.\n\n Joelle will be reading  from The Night Alphabet a nd in conversion with Roger Hill\, freelance director\, performer\, writ er\, lecturer and broadcaster. \n\nJoelle Taylor is a T.S Eliot Prize 2022 Prize winner for C+NTO &\; Othered Poems\, Joelle Taylor is th e author of 4 collections of poetry and a novel. C+NTO is currently bein g adapted for theatre with a view to touring.
