“The best-laid schemes of mice and men
Often go awry.”

The Zahir Presents:
THE EGG
By Noah Masterson
Directed by David Ritch
Running October 29 - November 21, 2026 at Austin's The Rosette
Enter the world of THE EGG: A place immiserated and delighted by dark magic and even darker technology. A place where three social misfits, each carrying bizarre, intimate secrets, must navigate love and friendship under a rigid surveillance state.
THE EGG is about art in an age of algorithms, connection in a culture of isolation, and the sirens' call of digital immortality.
THE EGG is a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience featuring freakish birdpeople, illegal surgery, and out-of-control technology.
