Blending clowning, physical theatre, and philosophical nonsense, Big Dog Theatre’s, ‘Conversations with a Fried Egg’ is weird. It’s also sad. It’s like standing in your kitchen having a deep conversation with yourself, your breakfast, your inner demons, and the creatures in the walls.
We meet Egg - a tender yet over-easy optimist - and a family of rats. Hungry rats. A fried egg may mean more to them than just a meal.
When cracks appear in your shell, will you be poached, fried, or scrambled? ‘Conversations with a Fried Egg’ is an absurd exploration of life, loneliness and breakfast.
