by Florence Keith-Roach

Overview

A dark comedy about female friendship, fertility and freaking out, by Florence Keith-Roach, 'rising star of the London theatre scene' (Evening Standard).

Two women, living very different lives, are united by their quick wit, love of nineties' dance music and a mounting alienation.

Eggs was first performed as part of the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and was selected for the 2016 VAULT Festival, London. It is also available in the volume Plays from VAULT.

'a neat exploration of female friendship... authentically honest and amusing... an unexpected treat' - Evening Standard
