A co-production with Force Majeure.
Knives, like ‘em sharp.
On a stretch of Australian highway, two sisters run a takeaway joint – their days heavy with Chiko Rolls and memories. While they quietly wage war with their past and wrangle with each other about how to map out their future, a young traveller arrives and brings with him a charm and sensuality that turns their world around.
This autumn, come and break bread in the intimacy of Belvoir’s Downstairs Theatre. Food is an evocative mix of words and movement that will surprise and stir in equal parts.
Writer/director Steve Rodgers is a theatrical marvel who writes and acts with equal aplomb. Co-director Kate Champion is riding the wave of a decade of brilliant work across theatre, opera and dance, notably with her celebrated company Force Majeure.
Running time: approx. 90 mins (no interval)
BREAKING NEWS: By popular demand, the season has now been extended by 2 weeks. Now closing 3 June. Book your tickets now so you don't miss out.

The performers slide from dramatic realism to sensual movement and back in such a way that you don't question it. Acting, dancing, cooking and cleaning on a set made of pots and pans (Anna Tregloan), the performances are warm, detailed and open. Box, in particular, is a delight to observe.
Jason Blake | The Sydney Morning Herald
Food is – the foodie analogies are irresistibly appropriate – a nourishing theatrical dish with some unexpected flavours.
Darryn King | Time Out
Above all, the performances of Box, Jackson and Bazzi are superb. Jackson’s brittle, brash Nancy perfectly complements Box’s pragmatic, vulnerable Elma. Bazzi’s bright and breezy entrance brings a gorgeous humour. The trio work together seamlessly.
