The play explores how the author has come to terms with their mental health and learned to work with their condition rather than against it. It utilises an anthological style to illustrate the difficulties within a memory play method. As a first attempt of non-curriculum, the play gave opportunities to students outside a university environment, as well as becoming an inspiring piece to show we shouldn&#8217;t be ashamed of our mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"115\" src=\"https:\/\/jdjustice.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_7611-1-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"116\" src=\"https:\/\/jdjustice.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_7509-1.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-116\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"117\" src=\"https:\/\/jdjustice.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_7478-1.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"118\" src=\"https:\/\/jdjustice.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_7481-1.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Odyssey Simplified<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/jdjustice.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_9661.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdjustice.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_9661.jpg 560w, https:\/\/jdjustice.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_9661-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit to Kai Brock for Poster (2025)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chosen as a final examination piece in order to graduate from University, JD Justice chose Homers &#8220;The Odyssey&#8221; to be performed as a one man retelling in a simplified format, to make the tale more engaging for newcomers to Greek Mythology The piece was received well enough to merit a 2:1 grade, granted JD Justice his bachelors degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-127\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/jdjustice.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/img_9680-1-1.png?w=1024\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#FFFFFF\" class=\"has-inline-color has-base-color\">The Mimic<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#FFFFFF\" class=\"has-inline-color has-base-color\">An award winning first attempt at the Liverpool<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#FFFFFF\" class=\"has-inline-color has-base-color\">John Moores University 48 Hour Film Challenge.<\/mark><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The Mimic&#8221; was the first attempt at the Liverpool John Moores University &#8217;48 Hour Film Challenge&#8217; in which the only aids given were a genre and a single line that needed to be in the final edit. The short film followed the story of two true crime enthusiasts searching for evidence of &#8216;The Merseyside Murderer&#8217;, played by JD Justice, when their search is interrupted by that very same murderer, emerging from the icy Mersey River.
