Riverlinks presents a Critical Stages and WHITE BOX production of A DAY IN THE DEATH OF JOE EGG

This play is a classic piece of contemporary theatre. It drags you uncompromisingly into a situation none of us would want to be in, it makes us laugh along and it pulls on the heart-strings. But this isn’t mere ‘soap opera’ or melodrama. It feels far more real, and gives a powerful experience only live theatre can offer.

Brian (Bri) and Sheila are a young married couple. They care for their daughter, nicknamed ‘Joe Egg', and are the model of bravery and courage in the face of adversity.

Living by the rule that if you don't laugh you'll cry, it's fortunate that Bri is a natural born entertainer. But what lies beneath Bri's funny lounge room antics? We find out when two unwanted guests start to poke their noses where they don't belong.

Compelling and heartfelt, the play bubbles along with exuberance, comedy and witty performances.
