{"product_id":"joe-egg-9780802151155","title":"Joe Egg","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Nichols\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.19h x 5.35w x 0.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802151155","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40660723466355,"sku":"9.7808E+12","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_36aafd60-56a7-483c-baf9-34654a5eca4c.jpg?v=1673448662","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/joe-egg-9780802151155","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
