JOY

$5.40$15.00

Albin is a sad boy. He's got some problems and they are difficult to deal with. He's been sitting in his chair for the past three years and he needs help. This quirky comedy follows Albin's downward spiral as joy leaves his life. It shows his struggles with parents, psychiatrists and people trying to sell him stuff. Full of side-splitting jokes and wacky characters, it will make you laugh and think. Funny and sad with a poignant sense of the absurd. Cast number is 3 - 10.
