The Unspoken Word Is 'Joe' by Zoey Dawson
The Unspoken Word is ‘Joe’ is a biting meta-satire of Australian theatre which Zoey would describe as dramatic and beautiful. And tender. And sad. And funny. And also really clever, and really honest, and really raw and emotional. It’s about a break-up – but it’s not just a breakup play. It’s got lots of other layers to it. Yeah. Layers. It’s, like... It’s a really good play.
This production of The Unspoken Word Is 'Joe' will mark as The Reaction Theory's first mainhouse production at Backdock Arts. Thie production is proudly supported by The Blocksidge Family through the Jennifer Blocksidge Memorial Award.
