Goodnight Egg

GOODNIGHT EGG
a new play for children aged 3-6

Production image from LUNA. A man wearing glasses, dressed in a blue nightshirt and striped blue nightcap holds a book in one hand and a white egg in the other. The white egg is also wearing tiny glasses and a tiny blue nightcap. In the background, there are cardboard moving boxes. A wooden model house can be partially seen behind the man.

Sometimes it can be very hard to sleep. Our minds wander and we can’t keep our eyes shut. But tonight, things will be different. Cross your fingers (and toes)!

Co-created by John Doran, Ursula McGinn and Mollie Molumby, GOODNIGHT EGG is a new play with puppetry, miniatures and music, for children aged 3-6 years.

Bombinate first started to develop 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. Bombinate presented a work-in-progress as part of Galway Theatre Festival in March 2018.

GOODNIGHT EGG is currently in development, with support from The Arts Council's Project Award and The Bookworms Commission Award. Most recently, Bombinate presented work-in-progress showings of the play at Prosperous National School, supported by Creative Schools, and at Roscommon Arts Centre as part of the 2019 Bookworms Festival.
