Don't miss the UK premiere of this surrealist musical, which has a star-studded cast including Tony winners Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Take Me Out), Jane Krakowski (She Loves Me), and Paulo Szot (& Juliet).
This absurd musical tells the story of the wealthy couple Leo and Marianne Brink. They take their equally wealthy friends out for a high-end meal. However, it quickly becomes clear this isn't your typical meal. Act One is based on Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel's 1972 film, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, which tells of a group of friends who continually fail to eat at a dinner party. Act Two is based on another Buñuel project, this one the 1962 film, The Exterminating Angel, in which the friends are unable to leave the dinner.
