GOODNIGHT EGG
a new show for children aged 3-6
Bombinate first started to develop ideas for GOODNIGHT EGG as part of Baboró: GROW, Pathways to Production. Here the company received mentorship from Baboró, Branar, Galway Theatre Festival, ITI and Mick Lally Theatre, Druid.
Following this GOODNIGHT EGG was developed with support from The Arts Council's Project Award (Strand 2). Bombinate presented work-in-progress showings of the play at Prosperous National School, supported by Creative Schools, at Roscommon Arts Centre supported by The Bookworms Commission Award, and The Civic as part of Ready, Steady, Show!
The play was selected for Culture Ireland and ITI's international pitching session Things We Haven't Made Yet (September 2019).
GOODNIGHT EGG premiered in a re-worked format as outdoor performances for Early Years settings in Tallaght, Dublin in May/June 2021. This was presented as part of 'Ready, Steady, SHOW!', Civic Theatre's ongoing programme of work for children and young people. Goodnight Egg premiered digitally in October 2021. It toured DCC libraries around Dublin as part of Creative Hubs in association with The Ark and Dublin City Arts Office. Goodnight Egg was presented at Carlow Arts Festival 2023.
