Joe Egg
This biting, ironic black comedy focuses on a couple struggling to cope under the pressure of looking after their severly disabled daughter, Joe. Sheila, the mother, hopes for Joe to recover, whilst the father Brian lives a life of jokes and comedy sketches, creating exaggerated characters from their own lives, in order to avoid the pain and frustration he feels.

This play encompasses a cast of professional actors whilst the production and stage management of the play has been undertaken by the membership of Theatr Ffynnon, a membership of adults with learning and physical disabilities.

Challenging, funny and uncomfortably honest!

Pre Show Talk - There will be a short introduction given by the Artistic Director, followed by a Q&A sesson.
