The Last Supper – Reckless Sleepers
The pop-up restaurant is given a macabre theatrical twist.
Overview
A multi-sensory meal-performance isn't what you usually expect when walking through the doors of a theatre. But that's exactly what The Last Supper is.
And it's not one of those performances where you can rest back in your comfy chair and watch actors through half closed eyes. Instead, theatre-goers will be sitting at a dinner table, sipping wine in a "Da Vinci-like mise-en-scene" while eating the last meal requests of crimals on death row. Hopefully plated to Masterchef standards.
Yep, the 13 audience members will become a part of the work, which has been written and directed by Mole Wetherell of UK/Belgium group Reckless Sleepers, and yep, food and wine are part of the package. The three performers will guide the piece and tell stories of death, both real and not so real, while the "audience" chows down. Hopefully those crims have good taste.
