CHEF

By Sabrina Mahfouz

Presented by Virginia Plain Theatre & KXT Bakehouse

17th - 20th February 2022, Kings Cross Theatre

“I cook here, create here,
make here be as much of life as I can
because outside of this
I’m not safe,
I don’t know the way.”

As Chef plans the perfect menu she reveals the events and relationships that took her from a Michelin-starred restaurant to a prison kitchen. Chef turns a life shaped by violence and loss into sublime dishes that reflect her philosophy of simplicity and respect. The Australian premiere of Sabrina Mahfouz’s award-winning play, Chef is a raw and poetic show about food, ambition and memories.
