| 520 | |a "Chris Bush's play Hungry is a two-hander that tells the story of a relationship between two women from very different backgrounds, both of whom work in the food industry. It explores love, class, grief and attitudes to what we eat. Hungry was first performed as a co-production between Paines Plough and Belgrade Theatre Coventry, in Paines Plough's the Roundabout at Belgrade Theatre Coventry, on 30 July 2021, before touring. The play has two interwoven time-frames: 'Now' and 'Then'. In the present, which plays out almost in real time, Bex (early twenties, black) and Lori (early thirties, white) are setting up for a gathering. The scenes set in the past span a couple of years, beginning at the moment they meet for the first time, when Lori is a professional chef and Bex waits on tables to make ends meet. After a coming-together in a walk-in fridge, they embark on a romance. But there are difficulties: Lori has big plans, while Bex is struggling, fighting against a system that is rigged, and grieving for the mother whose food she grew up on. Lori's attempts to educate Bex on her food choices and those of her working-class family end up reinforcing their cultural differences, and as their relationship begins to sour, it seems that some things - such as our relationship with food - go deeper than romance. The premiere production was directed by Katie Posner and designed Lydia Denno. It was performed by Eleanor Sutton and Leah St Luce"--About the play. | ||
