The Play
Painted Eggs is a powerful play which follows the first few years of a transsexual
woman John into Joan. Painted Eggs is also a universal story which everyone can
relate to.
Meet the many characters. Cilla, a trans woman who on the outside is a successful
prostitute but inside dreams of a husband and a nice house, who’s dreams are then
shattered when her past leaks out. Motor Mouse, a trans man playing a fool to cope
with isolation, but when a tragedy strikes reveals an intelligent young man. And
Charlie, when his best friend John becomes Joan, is forced to confront his own issues.
And of course John/Joan, who makes a clumsy and emotional journey into womanhood.
And many more...
Painted Eggs is about people, you and me. We see what we want to see, the shells
with all its colours, and not always the true person he or she may be.
Painted Eggs is a transsexual story as it has never been seen before.
