A Day in the Death of Joe Egg Tickets

The British Library in collaboration with the widely praised revival of A Day in the Death of Joe Egg have formally announced a special one-off event to honour the works of the play's author, Peter Nichols. The late playwright sadly passed away at age 92 just two weeks before the premiere of the new Joe Egg staging. The British Library presents Peter Nichols: A Celebration will be held at London's Trafalgar Studios on Wednesday, 27 November at 3pm and will feature a reading of select best works by Peter Nichols.

It has just been announced that the former Head of Casting for the National Theatre, Serena Hill, is set to become the first in-house house casting director for Trafalgar Theatre Productions, the producing arm of Trafalgar Entertainment.

A Day in the Death of Joe Egg focuses on Bri and Sheila; parents to a disabled daughter they have nicknamed “Joe Egg”. The couple uses wry humour to deal keep the family together, and the limits of this approach, and the strength of their relationship, are tested. The show is undoubtedly an important and illuminating piece of theatre,  the play being based on the author’s own struggles with raising his disabled daughter. Storme Toolis as Joe was excellent. I found myself drawn to focusing on her when she was on stage. Her control over the character was masterful and truly brilliant to watch. 

The first production shots have been released for the limited Trafalgar Studios run of A Day in the Death of Joe Egg. Previews for the production started exactly two weeks after the tragic death of its playwright, Joe Nichols, at age 92 on 7 September 2019. The Trafalgar Studios run marks the first posthumous production of Nichols' 1967 masterwork.
