A Child of the Jago

T1320112124
A young man struggles to survive the 'blackest pit' of London before the jail, the gallows, the High Mob or the Jago finally get to him. As his story unfolds, in this first ever dramatization of Arthur Morrison's social realism novel about the Jago slums of Shoreditch, the themes of child poverty, gang warfare, aspiration, faith, and fatherhood that resonate in our times are relayed with humour, satire and colourful characterisation.
