Eureka Day

Eureka Day Elementary School is an institution that prides itself on ensuring every voice is heard, and every child is welcome — that is, until an outbreak of mumps forces people in the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy.

This razor-sharp comedy by American playwright Jonathan Spector has had successful recent runs on Broadway and in the West End.  It’s laugh-out-loud funny, but there’s a message inside: even the most enlightened communities are just one epidemic away from complete turmoil.

Not a bad choice for The Junction’s tenth anniversary. It’s directed by Akansha and Gautam Goenka, founders of The Junction.

There are further performances on 22 and 23 November.
