  • ABOUT HUNGRY

Lori is a chef. Bex waits on tables to make ends meet. One night together in a walk-in fridge and it’s the beginning of something beautiful. Lori has big plans, while Bex is struggling. If we are what we eat, then Bex is in real trouble. It’s not her fault – the system is rigged. No one on minimum wage and zero hours has the headspace to make their own yogurt.

Chris Bush’s Hungry is a play about food, love, class and grief in a world where there’s little left to savor. 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 knows the world isn’t her oyster, and prefers to slurp down Top Ramen than try the upscale delicacy. Then there’s her white girlfriend Lori, a professional 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 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 our relationships.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: References to eating disorders and death of a parent.
