This brilliantly written, deeply moving play about the problems of
a young couple with a spastic daughter-the "Joe Egg" of the
title-was described by Ronald Bryden in The Observer (London) as a
"remarkable play about a nightmare all women must have dreamed at
some time, and most men: living with a child born so hopelessly
crippled as to be, as the father in it says brutally, a human
parsnip. For all that, it has to be described as a comedy, one of
the funniest and most touching I've seen. The bridge between its
form and content is a simple but brilliant stroke of theatre. Over
the years, the author implies, explaining to others how one lives
with such a situation becomes a kind of set party piece. This,
savagely exaggerated, is what he has written-a recital,
interspersed with jazz, imitations and tap-dances, about life with
Joe Egg."
