27th May to 31st May A biting, ironic comedy. Effective and compassionate. 'A Day in the Death of Joe Egg' by Peter Nichols Director: James Hughes-Alty	Bri is a young teacher. Sheila is his wife. Joe Egg is the name given by Bri and Sheila to their spastic child, Joe. To make their lives bearable they have evolved an elaborate series of fantasy games about Joe. Yet ten years of devotion to a human vegetable has caused terrible strains on their marriage and when Bri finds an opportunity of allowing Joe to die, he takes it. He sees this as the only sensible solution to the child's - and their own - misery. The attempt fails: Joe’s living death will continue. Although its themes are deeply serious, ‘A Day in the Death of Joe Egg’ is a biting, ironic comedy. It is a work of enormous theatrical effectiveness and compassion.
