Speed Is Emotional

AOTEAROA NZ | Barbarian Productions

‍

Jo Randerson has always lived life at high voltage. A true arts polymath, they have accumulated achievements, accolades, and acclaim as a PerformerComedianWriterActivistDirectorCurator TheatremakerFilmmakerWitchClown.

Jo has a brain that never stops and a fountain of restless energy fuelling their fiercely funny artistic voice. And the spring that feeds that fountain? A lifelong superpower, which they had diagnosed in their 40s alongside their son: ADHD.

In Speed is Emotional, Jo bares their soul, sharing the exhilaration, exhaustion, joy, and absurdity of living and parenting with neurodiversity. Jo weaves their punk poetic magic into a beautiful comedy about transcending labels and living with a voltage so high it’s going to blow the mains.

Speed is Emotional is funny as, painfully vulnerable, and a triumphant reclamation of life beyond labels. It's a tautoko to the power of art which literally saves lives

Accessibility

The Mayfair Theatre does not have disabled access. The easiest access into the auditorium is via one flight of stairs (18 steps) and up a slight ramp to get into the halfway point of the auditorium to row J which we recommend as the best seats for patrons with reduced mobility. Toilets are located at the very top of the stairs in the foyer.
