Who Cares Now?

Isabel Flynn


March 2020 happens and Izzy is back on the job hunt. After navigating the dramas of temporary jobs at Amazon and Dominoes, she eventually settles in a job working in domiciliary care. In keeping with her oblivious nature, she’s surprised to find out it’s a bit more than wiping bums and making your Nan a cup of tea in the morning. From discussing the quality of the male anatomy on Naked attraction with her favourite client 80 year old Joan. To holding someone’s hand through their Dad’s last moment’s. Join Izzy in her chaotic confessional of working in care over the last few years.

Told through a mix of stand-up, visual storytelling and lairy voice notes sent to her housemates during her breaks. This explosion of energy is for anybody who has lost a job, found a job and cares for the vulnerable people in their life.


Lead Artist

Isabel Flynn is the writer and performer of ‘Who Cares Now?’, which was first developed as a part of the Theatre Royal Plymouth’s Lab Company Talent Development programme. In 2019 Isabel directed ‘Unknown’ for RIse Strong Theatre which received a four star review and was featured on edinrbrughlive.co.uk. And most recently has been running autobiographical writing workshops at the University of Exeter’s acting society.  At present Isabel is dipping her toe in producing by taking part in the Exeter Northcott Futures Producers Programme, and is organising ‘The Greenhouse’  Northcott Futures Launch Festival, running from the 5th to the 7th of July, which showcases work emerging artists from across the Southwest! During the day Isabel also works at Exeter Library as a Marketing Assistant!
