Listed by London's National Theatre as one of the most significant plays of the 20th Century, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg is quite simply a modern classic. Written by one of the UK's great living writers, Peter Nichols, this thoughtprovoking and very funny play has been loved by audiences worldwide.
Brian (Bri) and Sheila are a young married couple. They care for their daughter, nicknamed 'Joe Egg' and are the model of bravery and courage in the face of adversity. Living by the rule that if you don't laugh you'll cry, it's fortunate that Bri is a natural born entertainer. But what lies beneath Bri's funny lounge room antics? We find out when two unwanted guests start to poke their noses where they don't belong! Compelling and poignant, the play bubbles along with exuberance, comedy and witty performances. A Day in the Death of Joe Egg is part vaudeville, part tragedy, part comedy, and always courageous and heartfelt.
"It's glorious theatre. Without a doubt it's beautifully crafted work, wonderfully staged and directed." Sydney Stage Online
