Described as a "bittersweet comedy about failing memory, friendship and mimicking martyrs", Keeping Up with the Joans is a warm and gently endearing play by Philip Meeks. Susan Penhaligon and Katy Manning star as retired rival amateur theatricals. Insults are exchanged as secrets are explored, all much to the delight of their care worker.
