Presented by Red Ladder Theatre Company as part of the Love Arts Festival 2017

The Life & Soul is a sensitive yet uncompromising observation of stigma and isolation associated with men’s mental health issues in 2017. Drawing on  themes of class, family and identity, the show has resonated deeply with anybody who has known somebody who struggles with depression. Glowing with charm, The Life & Soul is funny, grounded and very, very real.

Jim’s always been a bit of a character, just like his Dad, and spends most of his life between the bookies, the pub and the football. He’s always had this lingering feeling though that he doesn’t quite fit into this world, that there’s something different about him, something wrong... Jim’s never told his story to anyone before, but tonight he’s going to tell it to you...

Written by Chris O’Connor, performed by Richard Galloway, directed by Rod Dixon and produced by Jen Sullivan.
