Saving Jimmy

Jimmy is sober. He’s been sober in AA for 11 years. His wife, Magda, has been in Al-Anon for much, much longer. And now, Magda has cancer. It's terminal. But Magda tells Jimmy its treatable. She thinks she’s protecting Jimmy. Saving Jimmy. But will this destroy them both?

Saving Jimmy is the latest offering from Sweet for Addicts, a drama interspersed with music.

About the Company

Now in our 18th year, Sweet for Addicts is a Not-for-Profit organisation involving people whose lives have been touched by addiction and have used the Arts as cathartic therapy. The people who perform with Sweet for Addicts have a connection with addiction through themselves, a loved one, friend, acquaintance or family member. They may know these people or be addicts/alcoholics themselves, but the most important aspect of the organisation is that the Arts are seen as part of their recovery. That recovery allows them to participate in an activity designed to examine the human condition whilst enjoying the company of people who have similar stories to tell and hopes to share. All participants are volunteers, their time given freely for your enjoyment.
