The Lost Children

Eve McDougall was incarcerated in Scotland’s toughest adult prison for 2yrs at the age of 15yrs old for trying to steal a roll of bread, Christmas 1972.

Later in life Eve wrote her biography, ‘

A Wicked Fist’.

The Lost Children is a monologue of her first night in jail a traumatic experience which no child should go through for such a petty crime. Eve is not a victim she is a survivor who supports vulnerable people.

Mata Hari

singing." ✭✭✭✭ Theatre Guide London
