    Content NoticeContains homophobic and misogynostic language, as well as descriptions of violence. Themes of homophobia and domestic abuse. It is largely autobiographical but includes exploration of wider societal themes of gender-based violence and misogyny. These are largely referred to verbally. There is one instance of the performer depicting onstage a violent incident he was subjected to.

    Dan Egg is a man, technically.

    Before that he was a boy, definitely.

    He was born with a penis and so was definitely a boy- but learnt soon enough that his version of boyhood/maleness/ masculinity wasn’t the right one.

    He went to an all boys catholic school, had an estranged relationship with his biological father and has since worked extensively with men who perpetrate abuse.

    Dan Egg believes our society has a problem with men –and so is creating his first solo show to explore this. MANBOX is a show about masculinity, queerness and how the patriarchy is failing all of us.

    Developed on Starting Blocks at Camden People’s Theatre.

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
