Beschreibung

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.

Welcome to VAULT

For six weeks in bleakest winter, VAULT Festival transforms the dark tunnels underneath Waterloo Station into a carnival of experiences, every nook and cranny filled with entertainment and around every corner an unexpected adventure. 

VAULT is a place to discuss, and a place to party: every night you can join hundreds of artists and explorers for gigs, parties and performances. Since 2012, we have hosted over 250 productions from Britain’s most exciting emerging artists.

We’re trying to reinvent the business model of the non-funded creative sector and make it sustainable for both the artist and the festival. We can’t offer luxury, but what we can give is space: to innovate, take risks and collaborate with each other without the huge financial burdens you’ll find across the Thames, and in big institutions.

We’re delighted to present this collection of new writing. Though not everything at VAULT starts (or even ends) with a script, we hope you’ll find these five plays to be a cross-section of the exciting new talent which courses through the Festival’s veins.
