Written 2005-2006
Cast of Five (Three female, two male)
Received a workshop production in the Brown/Trinity New Plays Festival 2006. The director of the production was Geordie Broadwater. Readings with Minneapolis’ Emigrant Theater, and Rattlestick Theater.
On a snowy night in Columbus, Ohio, aspiring gourmet Maggie Redd prepares the meal of her life, and everything goes wrong. Food Porn is a brutal comedy about war, doughnuts, and haute cuisine.
There’s a long monologue Food Porn about an ortolan. Apparently, Francois Mitterand had one for his (illegal) last meal. This monologue was written for and beautifully delivered by my then girlfriend, and now wife, the extraordinary Crystal Finn. I let the language fly because I knew she could do it.
