Vamos Theatre, “one of the most innovative, exciting full mask mime companies currently touring” (The Stage) is returning to Unity Theatre on Thursday 13th and Friday 14th March with its latest production Finding Joy, after sell-out performances at the London International Mime Festival.
Finding Joy, based on a true story, is a piece of theatre inspired by one family’s remarkable and unconventional experience of dementia. Joy Wilson is a funny and gentle 80-something and her grandson Danny a teenager who’s going off the rails. When Joy starts to find it hard to remember things, Danny decides he will care for her. Together, they discover a shared playfulness and a mutual affection. But will that be enough to take on the challenges ahead?
