Why is Sameul Beckett her only visitor? Her father's muse, the daughter of James and Nora Joyce loves to dance.  She's drawn to young Sam, who works for her dad. In 1920's Paris Lucia tries Josephine Baker's cheeky cabaret chic and the liberated dance styles of Isadora Duncan. But can she keep her balance in the wake of her father's fame? Why is Lucia Joyce in a mental asylum? What is Carl Jung's diagnosis? And does she really dance with Nijinsky? Sacha Copland, Jan Bolwell and John Smythe bring you this remarkable story of a promising talent lost in another's wake.
