A Day in the Death of Joe Egg
This specific production does not yet have a description, but the play itself does:
Bri and Sheila are the young parents of a disabled ten-year-old child (nicknamed Joe Egg), who is incapable of sound or movement. They try to cope by inventing conversations and personality traits for the child, even though she seems unable to communicate in any way. As Bri and Sheila begin to fabricate scenarios, their marriage comes under increasing strain. A DAY IN THE DEATH OF JOE EGG was a West End success, receiving extraordinary critical acclaim, and was made into two films, released in 1971 and 2002.
