With out a doubt Jessica's biggest acting job to date was her part with an amazing cast of 11 wonderfully strong human beings who put together a spectacular smash hit 5* show called "See Me Now" In 2017 which sold out really quickly at Young Vic theatre in Waterloo. It was also taken to Edinburgh Fringe as a part of the British Art's Councils and one of their top 30 showcases from all over the UK.. Mark Rylance the Oscar Winner and previous Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre (For those who don't know the amazing talent that he is) said: "Jessica, I didn't even realise that you was transgender and I have to say that you played Nell Gwynn & Cynthia on Point!".
