Eggs Gala Performance

Eggs is the second play being produced by Orphee Productions. We are looking to raise money for the production with a special Gala performance of Eggs the play on Thursday 25th February, where we will be holding a drinks reception before the show and offering patrons the chance to receive a signed copy of the Vaults Anthology, published by Nick Hern books.

Though friends from university, GIRL 1 and GIRL 2 are living very different lives. Now in their late twenties, the only things that continue to unite them are their struggle against society's expectations, a love of 90s dance music and a dead best friend.
Over the course of a year, the tension of this realisation mounts and the wilfully humorous banality of their dialogues, so reassuring at first, begins to grate against a far more sincere and ultimately tragic subtext.

For this is a story about coming to terms with the absurd horror of one's own fragmentation in a world. A world where the untimely death of a friend, IVF, pop-feminism, Scarlett Johansson, MDMA and Cher's 90's comeback album all chaotically co-exist.

In the end, it is their friendship, however flawed, which rescues these women from utter abstraction. This play celebrates these relationships, for all their bickering and sardonic glory.

A play about young women trying to figure out who they are. It's about young people trying to figure out how to exist.
