Born
under a skip in a dark alleyway Mikey has little or no hope in
life. With various younger siblings all of different parentage he
can be seen as one of life’s losers. Living in one of the
massive sink estates, with nowhere to go and nothing to do but
hangout with mates and get stoned and pissed.
The
one ambition in his life is to go out with posh Angela but she
never even looks his way. Not content with his mates Baz and Steve
or the one girl on the estate who is in love with him Itchy, he
attempts to study for a GNVQ in Business.
To
see Mikey's adventures and those of his mates take time out to see
'Mikey the Pikey' Pleasance Queendome daily.
This
show is very cleverly thought out, well written covering a wide
variety of musical styles, nicely choreographed and extremely well
performed. It is also
the sort of show I could watch again and again and have the
soundtrack on
the tape in the car.
Was
I imagining but did we have an immaculate conception followed by a
virgin birth witnessed by three wise men???
