Eureka Day Elementary School is an institution that prides itself on ensuring every voice is heard, and every child is welcome \u2014 that is, until an outbreak of mumps forces people in the community to reconsider the school\u2019s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise, the school\u2019s Executive Committee of well-meaning parents and teachers fall apart as their progressive paradise crumbles and meetings are derailed by parental hysteria …<\/p>\n
This razor-sharp comedy by American playwright Jonathan Spector has had successful recent runs on Broadway and in the West End.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
Not a bad choice for The Junction’s tenth anniversary. It’s directed by Akansha and Gautam Goenka, founders of The Junction.<\/p>\n
There are further performances on 22 and 23 November.<\/p>\n
