Joe wants to be with Bess.
Bess wants to be with Joe.
But things go wrong.
Joe gets cross with Bess.
And Bess gets cross with Joe.
I try to be nice, says Bess.
So do I, says Joe.
But things go wrong.
joe no, bess yes is about love and how sometimes you like each other and sometimes you don’t. Even grownups find it complicated at times. Being together means understanding each other, but that’s not always as easy as it seems. A small problem can sometimes get completely out of hand. You find yourself tongue-tied, at a loss for words, or simple too judgmental. But suddenly you can laugh about it together and things are back to normal. You need very few words to make that clear.
joe no, bess yes is inspirited by the book of the same name by Joke van Leeuwen for beginning readers age 6 and up. The book won a Zilveren Griffel in 1993. This theatre performance draws on the same words you learn as you start to read.
