The remarkable life of Jamie Joseph Patrick Keogh is channelled in this one-woman show inspired by interviews with and acting as a celebration of men who have been involved with drugs, been through the criminal justice system and had to cope with adversity.
Born into poverty and madness, Jamie is a a force to be reckoned with. He survives on wit, laughter and ingenious schemes. Whether it's sprinting on sports day, chasing oblivion or running away from cops, it seems to be only a matter of time for him before a crash comes.
In an age when masculinity is in crisis, this is both a show about it means to be a man from a broken background and what it means to be a woman who has loved a man like that. The show celebrates the ingenuity of the thief and the chancer - the bad boy - but also reaches out to him with love, compassion and understanding, aims to give colourful insight into the lives of those living on the edge in society.
Written and performed by Eve Steele and produced by LittleMighty, LIFE BY THE THROAT is directed by Ed Jones. Visit www.littlemighty.co.uk for tour dates and more information. Running time: 1 hour. Age restriction: 14+
