Bri and Sheila are the young parents of a disabled child (nicknamed Joe Egg) living by the rule of 'if you don't laugh you'll cry'. Bri is a born comedian and has no problem creating an imaginery world around the child, giving her a series of comic personality traits and conducting fictional conversations. To the outside world, the couple seem the very model of bravery in the face of adversity.

When two unwanted guests begin to question the family's cosy arrangement, the darkness beneath their comic facade becomes all too clear.

A Day in the Death of Joe Egg is a funny and thought-provoking modern classic. Written by Peter Nichols, one of the greatest living playwrights, this comedy-drama is compelling and heartfelt and bubbles along with exuberance and wit.
