Chris Fung on writing and performing in The Society for New Cuisine
Chris Fung is about to bring his show, The Society for New Cuisine, to Omnibus Theatre, a show that asks “What would you give for a taste of new understanding?”
Chris will be known to many for his West End work, including roles in Frozen and Cyrano de Bergerac, but this is his first foray into writing. We chat about what started his writing process, the delights of fringe theatre, how it differs from being on a West End stage, and performing to just three people at Edinburgh Fringe!
The Society for New Cuisine will play at Omnibus Theatre from 19 March to 5 April. Further information available here.
The Society for New Cuisine
Omnibus Theatre
19 March – 5 April
After a world-shattering break up, a man with many questions finds THE SOCIETY FOR NEW CUISINE, a group who seem to have all the answers. But what must he sacrifice to feel truly whole?
The Substance meets Woman in Black in this debut play from East-Asian writer and performer Chris Fung (Your Lie in April, Frozen, Cyrano de Bergerac: West End, Evita: Regent’s Park) and directed by Rupert Hands (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Palladium; Sunset Blvd, Savoy/Broadway).
A deliciously twisted Buddhist inspired folk fable about power, masculinity and heartbreak which took Edinburgh Fringe by storm last summer, now making its much anticipated London debut.
What would you give for a taste of new understanding?
