The Good Egg

by Michael Lewis MacLennan

tagged: canadian
Description

They’re the ultimate downtown couple—attractive, smart, and successful. They have everything they could ever want. Except a child. When bad news points them to alternative methods of conception, they encounter a handsome young art model. He seems like the perfect solution to their problems. But as this unlikely trio gets more intimate, secret agendas surface and threaten to destroy not only their hasty deal, but everything they’ve so carefully built for themselves. From one of Canada’s funniest playwrights, The Good Egg is a penetrating look at timely, controversial issues. Theatrically audacious, it’s also an achingly real and hilarious portrait of three unpredictable people on the brink.
