Eat - The Birmingham Rep Theatre performed at the Roundhouse

Feasting, Fasting, Famine and Food for Thought Ladies and gentlemen, we give you – Eat! A theatrical journey in four… caravans. We take food for granted; we diet, overindulge, grab it on the go, but rarely do we delve into its stories. From famine to hunger strike, persecution to celebration, anorexia to obesity, food and eating has an important place in historical events, the present news and our own emotional memories. This year a team of researchers, writers, actors and designers, The REP, and Black Country Touring have cooked up a new site specific production using four caravans based on personal accounts of what, when and how we eat and why it matters. The production weaves together theatre, live music, installation, beatbox and spoken word taking audiences on a unique journey inspired by the many stories we have been told.
