Feast, Riverside Theatre, 2019

Written and Performed by Megan Gogerty
Directed by Saffron Henke
Production Design by Chris Rich

Performance Dates: 
October 25-November 10


When an ancient magical creature disguised as a middle-aged lady invites us to her dinner party, she attempts to form a truth and reconciliation committee to address the wrongs committed by our forefathers, only to discover in her grief that she may have accidentally helped to create the patriarchy. 

An immersive and visceral theatrical experience where mythology crashes into pop culture, FEAST. reimagines an ancient myth as a cautionary tale against the rising forces of authoritarianism.

“FEAST. takes aim at and exposes all the rage in the room: the loss, the despair, the need for revenge. But somehow, also, by the end, all the hope too. It’s an epic song about love that leaves you singing along.”
