Originally produced in 1937 by the Children's Theatre Unit of the Federal Theatre Project, The Boiled Eggs brought contemporary social issues to children. When an evil restaurant owner and his wife trick a gullible farmer into paying $1,000 for his breakfast of boiled eggs, it is up to the downtrodden waiter to save the farmer from ruin. The play is an interesting look into the culture of Depression era America.
