EGG IN SPOON

    We included this play in our high school senior-directed one-act festival and it felt very important for our students and audiences. Four strong female roles dealing with issues that are sadly not very far from the subtle dystopian atmosphere in the play.

    An excellent short play whose slow burn to darkness and Dystopia will surprise audiences. The characters, the setting will seem familiar, but they live under the added burden of women's reproductive rights being cast aside. "Egg in Spoon" doesn't show the fight against misogyny. Rather, it shows the consequences and it's all the more powerful because of that.

    Sharp, easy going narrative with four clearly defined characters. The play takes a sombre, unexpected turn that is all the darker for the familiarity with which the women are resigned to the situation. Sensitive and graceful.
