A Tragedy in Three Acts

I A portly man out on a stroll approached an egg and ate him whole. II When he saw what he had done, he ate another one. III This man, beyond reproaching, was thrown in jail for poaching.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. The perfect play! The critics are raving. What character development! And the intricacy of the sub-plots. When does it open on Broadway, David? ~ The Eggman

LOL!! Thanks Eggman, I'm auditioning for the parts now. I'm casting my brother as the portly man, but the part of the egg is very nuanced. I'm looking for an actor who has the necessary sophistication. Another problem is that I keep eating the prospects.
