WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Eddie Izzard (2003 Drama Desk Award winner) and Victoria Hamilton star in Roundabout Theatre's production of A Day in the Death of Joe Egg. Peter Nichols' play concerns Bri (Izzard) and Sheila (Hamilton), and their handicapped child (nicknamed Joe Egg), aged 10. The parents invent conversations and personality traits for the child, even though she seems unable to communicate in any way. As Bri and Sheila begin to fabricate scenarios, their marriage comes under increasing strain. Laurence Boswell directs.
Winner of the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play and 2003 Drama League Award for Distinguished Production of a Revival!

The cross-dressing stand-up comic Eddie Izzard tells anyone who asks that he's determined to be a "serious" actor because he wants to be taken, well, seriously. So it's fortunate that he was asked to replace Clive Owen when the current revival of Peter Nichols's harrowing but brilliant A Day in the Death of Joe Egg played London's West End last year. The production has now been imported to Broadway by the Roundabout Theatre Company, which last mounted Nichols's difficult, gratifying work in 1985.
This serendipitous development has to be causing Izzard much delight, and is bound to do the same for audiences. In Joe Egg, Izzard plays Bri, the father of a brain-damaged, wheelchair-ridden 10-y[...]
