Project description:
Hunger is the erotic thriller that explores narcissism, obsession, food and the American way. It asks the question how far will we go to be satisfied? In the piece, two women share the same man and the same recipe. One woman uses the recipe to seduce him, the other uses the recipe to kill him. An original, multimedia play, it incorporates image, text, music, movement and cookery with participatory theatre.
