Finding Joy

Venue: 
Northcott Theatre, Exeter

Joy is creative, funny, loves to dance, and is losing her memory: her grandson Danny is rebellious, fearless, bright, and always getting into trouble. When out of the blue Danny decides to become Joy’s carer, they discover a shared playfulness and a mutual affection. But is that enough to take on the challenges ahead? Finding Joy is based on life events and true stories, and brims with all the visual inventiveness, music, puppetry, dexterity and hilarity that we have come to expect from one of the UK’s foremost full mask theatre companies.
