Event

A Day in the Death of Joe Egg
IN RESIDENCE: May 24-30 2016

The Night Shift is proud to kick-off their 2016 season with this brilliant and brutal play by Peter Nichols. Directed by Christina Ashby, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg tells the story of a young British couple struggling to keep their marriage afloat while caring for their only child, a small girl with cerebral palsy. Jo, their daughter, is confined to a wheelchair and unable to communicate. Sheila, her mother, is a natural care-taker and devotes her life so her daughter will have one. Brian, meanwhile, is constantly looking for a way out. Tensions mount when Brians mother and their married friends pay a visit. Each character has their own view on what to do with Jo and the damning question is asked: Is it ever worth it? A play that combines comedy, pathos, and vaudeville, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg is sure to stay with you long after youve left the theater.
