Joe's Room was devised by Barrow Junior and Senior Youth Theatres and written by the Theatre Factory Young Writer’s Group helped by Sarah Miller
Joe has problems – his mum doesn’t listen to him, especially since Granny Maggie died; his brother’s a bully and his dad doesn’t seem to know who Joe is . . .
Then one day something really weird happens; there is a freak accident with his Playstation and, incredibly, Joe discovers a portal to another world . . .
When Dad falls into the portal, Joe must follow and play the game of his life to save him.
They find themselves battling with animated Stick Men, life sized talking Dust Mites and bizarre video game characters, not to mention a game show run by Monkeys . . . but over in the distance someone familiar is beckoning . . .
