Sugarcraft

Show Info

By Danny Tieger
Directed by Ryan Emmons

With Julie Congress, Steven Conroy, Ariana Cruz, Erin Lamar, and Lilybeth Sanchez

You are cordially invited to Lady Dupray’s exclusive parlour for a cooking presentation by the ingenious Mary Eales. Mrs. Eales dazzled the royal court with her most famous recipe for ice cream – and now her innovation, once only available to Queen Anne and her guests, will be crafted just for you! No need to bring your own straw and salt; all will be provided.

No.11 Productions has whipped up a new theatrical confection, written by Danny Tieger and inspired by the 1718 cookbook, Mrs. Mary Eales’ Receipts. As Mary presents her famed dishes à la Julia Child, snippets from her past bubble up and we see how she’s used the extraordinary power of sugar to overcome seemingly impossible odds. But Mary’s past is hurtling towards a secret future that hangs on the success of her cooking presentation.

Note: The show involves actors onstage working with real food ingredients including nuts. Allergen warning for almonds.
