Joe Egg Previews Tonight!
Fri, 5 June 2009, 09:39 amPreviews tonight & opens Sat 6 June 8pm! Tix available at the door.
A Day in the Death of Joe Egg
by Peter Nichols
directed by Stephen Lee
On the London's National Theatre's list of the most significant plays of the twentieth century.
Class Act Theatre (Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, The Canterbury Tales) presents Peter Nichol’s dynamic black comedy. This play, set in 1967, deals with the problems faced by carers of severely disabled children. The issues are tellingly highlighted in this wonderfully fresh and confronting play. Often achingly funny, yet always with a bleak and bitter aftertaste, it is challenging and thought provoking. Would life for all of them by better by far if Joe were to die? Just what is gained by the daily struggle of her existence? Or can the bond between parent and child survive any adversity?
Starring Peter Clark (Closer) and Shirley Van Sanden (Winner Best Actor Female 2004 Equity Guild Awards). Supported by Claire Munday (Away - Black Swan) , Grant Watson (The Taming of the Shrew) and Angelique Malcolm (nominated Best Supporting Actor Female 2007 Equity Guild Awards) and introducing 14 year old Melissa Kiiveri (Romeo and Juliet) as Joe.
