Eggs at the Tristan Bates Theatre
WAKE UP THEATRE PRESENTS “EGGS” BY FLORENCE KEITH-ROACH AT THE TRISTAN BATES THEATRE
29th APRIL — 4th May 2019
Following the very successful and sold out run at Manchester’s 53Two which garnered rave reviews, this utterly honest play is transferring to London.
Eggs follows two women leading very different lives. The only thing uniting them is their struggle against society’s expectations. This is a story about young women trying to figure out who they are, how to exist and who to be. In the end, it is friendship, however flawed, which rescues these women from utter alienation.
“I am an autonomous, independent, sexually self satisfying being.”
“Females, Friendship, Fertility, and Freaking out”
