Everybody has something that makes their life a little bit more difficult and it’s about what you use to help you get through that point.” It’s about how you put one foot in front of the other every single day, whatever your Joe Egg might be. I was really interested in the attitudes that were so prevalent towards disabilities in the 1960’s, but the play touches on so many other things, not just disability. “I’m interested in understanding how a family in an era that is not 2019 would deal with having a disabled child and whether what they would go through and what we go through now would be kind of similar. Everybody is different, so my job is to portray Joe’s story,“ says Toolis. The Imperial War Museum has reopened after refurbishment The Garden.
