FEAST: a play with dinner

Walking Shadow Theatre Company and the Black Forest Inn present

FEAST

by Megan Gogerty

directed by Allison Vincent

performed by Isabel Nelson

Enter the hall of the nameless Sea-Hag, mother of Grendel. She slew her ancient enemies, but it wasn't enough. It's never enough. Still she hungers for retribution. Now, shocked by the strongmen of our modern world, she contemplates a new threat: the ultra-rich. When the seductive power of violence beckons, how do you distinguish between justice and revenge? Perhaps if we share a meal together, we can learn to trust each other. Perhaps we can find salvation.

Experience this fierce, one-woman theatrical event with an actual feast curated by the Black Forest Inn (show-only tickets also available)! Get ready to dig in.

• Meal 1: Pork ribs, kraut, and mashed potato (GF)
