Our Man
'Our Man' is a powerful one-man show by award-winning British-Cypriot writer Jamie Thrasivoulou. The narrative tears through the curtain of manners to reveal the wildlife of neo-liberal Britain. The show is an interrogation of masculinity, class, mental health, addiction, suicide, and criminality; packed with dark humour and inventive wordplay. 'Thrasivoulou's star is rising go and watch him.' Write Out Loud Winner of 2018 Culture Matters: Bread & Roses Award for Spoken word. Shortlisted in 2019 Saboteur Awards for Best Spoken Word Artist in the UK. Thrasivoulou has performed at poetry festivals and venues all over the UK including: The Everyman Theatre, The 100 Club, The Old Rep and The Birmingham Hippodrome. Thrasivoulou is the official Derby County Football Club Poet; his poem We Are Derby is played on the big screen before every home game at Pride Park stadium. In December 2018 he became the first ever performer to recite at the East Midlands derby between Derby County and their rivals Nottingham Forest where he spat verse to over 31,000 people. His work has appeared on BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Derby & ITV Central.
