The Last Lunch

Event information

We’ve all heard the age-old adage, “You are what you eat”, but Something Underground Theatre’s new play, “The Last Lunch” sets out to explore that notion right to its nth degree. ‘It’s about traditional British butcher Albert, who’s enraged at having so many opinionated spiritual midwife vegans, hippies and pregnant grand-daughters show up for Sunday lunch; who’s also trying hard to keep his trusty Nokia out of the tofu casserole; and who’s also trying not to buy yet another consignment of "damaged stock" from his beef-farming “friend” Peter. ‘As the guests arrive, the house fills with archetypes that play havoc with the whole family. It’s funny, moving, poignant, disturbing.’
