Joey

By Sean Burn

joey is a high octane monologue about multiple possibilities for survival: they've travelled far and wide, joey's travelling still.

1981 and a hard right government makes savage cuts. Tories wear 'Hang Nelson Mandela' badges. Urban wastelands, poverty increases. Tebbit tells the rocketing unemployed to 'get on their bike'. Riots, racist attacks, police fitting up black youth. Labour party split; hunger strikes and terrorist attacks. Royal wedding; Yorkshire ripper caught. Aids reaches UK. Overnight, playground chants ov "spaz" change to "joey" because joey deacon who lived with cerebral palsy appears on Blue Peter.

An epic, rebellious rollercoaster of a story.
