Description

Joey is a high-octane monologue about multiple possibilities for survival and reframing futures. It's a powerful reclamation that explores themes of identity, community, and resilience. In 1981, the UK government made significant cuts, but amidst poverty, racism, and social unrest, a young person saw an opportunity to reclaim their name. Inspired by a friend who had already taken this bold step, they declared themselves "Joey" from then on. This act of self-definition is at the heart of the play. Joey will be performed in English and British Sign Language at several venues across the UK in June 2019, as part of a preview tour supported by various arts organisations.
