Jack Dean

Jeremiah

From the critically-acclaimed rap storyteller behind Grandad And The Machine comes a raucous new show with live music about one of the North’s greatest forgotten revolutionaries.

On 9 June 1817 Jeremiah Brandreth assembles a crew of malcontents in a pub near Nottingham. Their plan is to march on London, overthrow the government, wipe out the National Debt and end poverty forever. What Jeremiah doesn’t know is that there is a spy in his ranks with other ideas…

Featuring an original score and live band, Jeremiah tells the incredible true story of the much misunderstood Luddite rebellion.

Supported using public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England and the PRS Foundation Open Fund. Research and development originally supported by Unlimited, celebrating the work of disabled artists.
