Play by Theresa Rebeck
Directed by Margaret E. Hall

“An impeccably built comedy. Destined to please crowds!”–The Wall Street Journal

Brilliant, hot-headed chef Harry scores a mention in a food magazine with his signature dish, and his business partner Mike finally sees profits within reach. The only problem? Harry refuses to recreate his masterpiece for the masses. Mix in a shrewd restaurant consultant and a waiter with dreams of his own, and it all goes to hell in this hilarious and insightful new play that asks us to consider where art ends and commerce begins.
