Is Everyone Okay?

by Joel Horwood

Watford Palace Theatre is pleased to welcome its new creative associate nabokov, to the Palace this autumn with their production of Is Everyone Okay? a brand new play by Joel Horwood.

The play which recently performed to audiences at Latitude Festival is a dazzling sixty minute, theatrical experience for anyone who has ever hit 30 and asked themselves what they’re doing with their life.  It defines a generation’s anger, fear and frustrations in a brutally honest combination of explosive stand-up comedy and stand-up tragedy.

“I wasn’t always like this, I swear, I wasn’t like this. I used to have friends, I used to like them, I even used to like the job. In principle I loved it, helping organise air-freight. Its’ – it could be amazing…”

Daisy’s job’s on the line and whilst she can’t remember why she has it, she’s sure she can’t afford to lose it. Meanwhile Em’s about to become a self-elected single mother and Cameron doesn’t know what to do with these strange warm feelings that the office temp has infected him with…

Is Everyone Okay? is about three people trying to work out if they’re doing okay or if everything’s gone to shit - people who can only connect from behind a microphone.  Three stories about us, now, and how terrified we are.

nabokov is an internationally acclaimed new writing production company dedicated to commissioning, developing and producing backlash theatre - new work for the stage that offers an antagonistic response to contemporary agendas, trends and events.

Joel’s latest play I Caught Crabs in Walberswick premiered at The Hightide Festival prior to a National Tour and runs at The Bush Theatre in London and The Edinburgh Festival Fringe.  His first play Mickey The Pickey premiered at the Gulbenkian Theatre, won the Cameron Mackintosh Award and subsequently enjoyed a sell-out run at the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  Joel is writer-in-residence at nabokov.
