A DAY IN THE DEATH OF JOE EGG

By Peter Nichols
A Critical Stages and White Box production

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?

Written by celebrated British playwright Peter Nichols, this play defined late-60s British theatre, with its mocking humour and heartbreaking undercurrents. Heralded by London’s National Theatre as one of the most significant plays of the 20th Century.
