'Eggsistentialism' is the mother of all themes for stage

TO BEGET or not to beget, that is the question. Eggsistentialism is one woman’s one-woman show on whether or not to have a child in her final fertile years.

Limerick woman Joanne Ryan, a former teacher and journalist who fell into acting via a two-year stint in Ros na Rún, has been pursuing the comedy circuit as well as her lauded serious role in What Happened Bridgie Cleary.

This show explores a universal theme in the modern world, that this is the first time that women get to decide whether or not they will become mothers.
