THE SOCIETY FOR NEW CUISINE

PRESENTED BY FUN GUY PRODUCTIONS
After a world-shattering break up, a man with many questions finds THE SOCIETY FOR NEW CUISINE, a group who seem to have all the answers. But what must he sacrifice to feel truly whole?

The Substance meets Woman in Black in this debut play from East-Asian writer and performer Chris Fung (Your Lie in April, Frozen, Cyrano de Bergerac: West End, Evita: Regent’s Park) and directed by Rupert Hands (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Palladium; Sunset Blvd, Savoy/Broadway).

A deliciously twisted Buddhist inspired folk fable about power, masculinity and heartbreak which took Edinburgh Fringe by storm last summer, now making its much anticipated London debut.

What would you give for a taste of new understanding?

7:30 PM (TUE-SAT), 2PM (TUE) 4PM (SUN)
£20 STANDARD
