Synopsis

Top chef Frank Byrne has one ambition in life - to win the coveted third Michelin star for his restaurant, which will bring him the success he craves and confirm his reputation as the best. When he finally gets it, he becomes a world celebrity, adored and scrutinised by the media. But reaching the top comes at a price...Set in the turbulent world of celebrity chefs, Food explores the compulsive nature of perfectionism and the sacrifices we make to realise our dreams. Do you ever feel that no matter what you do, you are just not good enough? Welcome to the paranoid world inside Frank's mind...In 2002, The Imaginary Body theatre company had a huge hit at the Edinburgh Festival with 100, which won a Fringe First and was published by NHB. This year they return to the Festival with the premiere of Food starring Sean Campion from Stones in his Pockets.
