SUMMARY:Conversations with a Fried Egg | Melbourne Fringe Festival 2025
DESCRIPTION:Crack open life’s strangest questions…\n\n\nBlending 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. \n\nWe 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. \nWhen 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.\n\n\nDate & Time: 7-18 October\, 8:45pm\nLocation: Melbourne Fringe Festival Hub\, Meat Market\n\n\n\nCast & Creatives \nWritten by Ivy Crago and Maxine Palmerson in collaboration with Maddi Formosa and Luce Wirthenson\nProduced by Claudia Harris Mikey Luce Wirthenson\nVinnie Ivy Crago\nGertie Maxine Palmerson\n\nThe Fried Egg / Chase Maddi Formosa \nIllustrations by Maxine Palmerson\n\n\n\n\nFollow BIG DOG on socials!\n@bigdogtheare\nBIG DOG Website
