NEW COMEDY by Theresa Rebeck directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel
Chef Harry (Hoon Lee) is a genius in the kitchen; his scallops are the “it” dish in Brooklyn. His business partner, Mike (Michael Esper), wants to expand their restaurant, but Harry sees that as selling out. When a shrewd consultant (Krysta Rodriguez) is brought in to make the case for expansion, Harry boils over. Can their most devoted employee (W. Tré Davis) help to put the lid back on? Tony Award nominee Moritz von Stuelpnagel directs this new fit-for-foodies comedy by critically-acclaimed playwright Theresa Rebeck, which grapples with the intersection of creativity and commerce.
