The Book of Jo looks at what happens when life falls apart.
How can we maintain hope when the worst happens?
And why do bad things happen anyway?
A woman faced with a rare and random terminal diagnosis sits in the debris of her life contemplating meaning and social justice with the dubious help of the old testament story The Book of Job

​Written and Performed by Viv Gordon

Original Music Composed by Tom Johnson
​Dramaturgy by Chris Fogg


The Book of Jo was a theatre show commissioned by Life of Breath and philosopher Havi Carel inspired by research into Breath and Breathlessness. The show premiered at Catch Your Breath/Southmead Hospital on 24th Sept 2019
