A raucous rebellious gig theatre show about a forgotten part of British history. Jeremiah tells the incredible true story of the much-misunderstood Luddite rebellion. Through rap, song, and live music the story is told through the lens of the life of Jeremiah Brandreth, the instigator of the Luddites’ final stand, and the last man in British history to be beheaded by axe for High Treason.
