About The Play
Nancy left, choosing chaos, freedom and sex. Elma stayed behind and cooked.
Now Nancy is back.
On a stretch of Australian highway, sisters Elma and Nancy run their family takeaway joint – their days heavy with deep frying and memories. While they quietly wage war with their past and dream of a brighter future, a young life-loving Turkish traveller arrives, bringing a charm and sensuality that turns their world upside down.
Food is the first production outside Australia of Australian playwright Steve Rodgers, directed by Cressida Brown, the Artistic Director of Offstage Theatre, and director of the critically acclaimed Amphibians and Walking the Tightrope.
