Dinner by Moira Buffini at Barons Court Theatre

The Rose Bridge Theatre Company presents Dinner, by Moira Buffini, at the Barons Court Theatre, a 60-seat fringe venue, in Kensington, south London, from 2 to 6 April 2013.

Paige plans to confound her guests – an artist, a scientist and 'a sexpot'. To celebrate the success of her husband Lars’ book, the hostess extraordinaire prepares a culinary surprise they will likely remember for some time. With the presence of the silent Waiter, an uninvited guest and a menu including ‘Primordial Soup’, caustic comments fly and emotional carnage abounds in this dark satire that explores the ever-resonant theme: the dinner party from Hell.
