Josh is as brave as a lion, Harriet is as wise as an owl, and Miranda is always as good as gold – or so they think, until they fall down an abandoned mineshaft into a realm beneath the world we know. The trio’s adventure in the fabled Underworld forces them to confront their surface notions, as they delve toward a deeper understanding of courage, wisdom, and goodness. But in a realm where dragons lurk and gnomes are real, can three lost school kids break a spell of ignorance and rescue Sophia, the Underworld’s rightful queen?

A year after 9/11, actress Felicity Knox makes a surprise appearance as Iris, the messenger goddess of joy, on the Channel Four morning news. The stunt is meant to publicize the Broadway premiere of her late husband’s retro-musical, The Joy Gods Return, but it blossoms into a campaign of joy that lifts the spirits of the entire city. New York falls in love with Iris, and so does jaded newscaster Brian Banning, whose quest for an exposé
nearly wrecks everything. The Joy Gods Return celebrates the resurgence of joy after isolation and grief. It’s about the return of laughter, music, color, glamour, life – and love. After the hiatus of the pandemic, it’s exactly the show we need.
