Running April 24th–May 17th
“We are what we eat.” It’s a mantra that devours the relationship of two Brits who are first united by a love of food: Bex, a working-class Black waitress who know the world isn’t her oyster, and prefers to slurp down Top Noodle than try the upscale delicacy. Then there’s her white girlfriend Lori, a chef with big dreams to fix up (read: gentrify) a humble chicken shack with high-concept, hard-to-pronounce fare.
Soup’s not the only thing simmering; it’s got a powerful, hidden base of class, race, appropriation, family nostalgia, and righteousness. In the two-hander HUNGRY, opposites attract… but preparing meals with good intentions may be the very thing that poisons relationships.
Venue
Hungry will be performed at the Center Theatre, located in the Seattle center Armory.
Address is 305 Harrison St, Seattle, WA 98109.
Access
This presentation will be held at Seattle Center Armory Center Theatre, which seats 195 and includes wheelchair-accessible spaces. ASL Interpreters and CART captioning will be available during some performances—see calendar for details.
