Avenue Stage's FISH FOOD in Pre Fringe Run at Boston Playwrights' 7/20-23
Avenue Stage's FISH FOOD at Boston Playwrights' Theater for Pre-Fringe Run July 20-23
It's Boston. It's 1990. Joe Bacon's life - like the Berlin Wall --has been reduced to rubble. A bizarre interview leads to a job answering phones in the basement of the Plaza Court Hotel, faded jewel of the Back Bay. Celebrity takeover artist Avery Grand (best-selling author of "The Deal Is Everything") has promised a facelift for his new property, but furniture and fine wine are disappearing into moving trucks. Joe finds a ready-made dysfunctional family among unhinged co-workers, but will scuttling around town with unmarked bags of cash really help him get ahead?
'The characters are delectable and the laughter non-stop.' Boston Arts Review
FISH FOOD, written by Avenue Stage co-founder Michael O'Halloran, is an eccentric ensemble comedy that chronicles a young man's turbulent entry into the joys and sorrows of the workforce. It has delighted audiences with its quirky characters and its nostalgic look at the fashions and mores of the late eighties. From shoulder-padded jackets to telephones with cords, FISH FOOD takes us back to a lost era.
'A charming little comedy that sends up the boozy, amoral world of luxury hospitality, FISH FOOD delivers a hilarious take on the hotel business.' The Theater Mirror - New England Theater Guide
Since 2012, Avenue Stage has produced innovative shows in a café setting in Dorchester. FISH FOOD, its 6th production, sold out its initial performances in May 2017. After its July run at Boston Playwrights Theater, FISH FOOD will transfer to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe August 4-19.
