    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.

    Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
