‘People always need to eat. If you can cook, really cook, if you know flavour and taste and texture, people will pay you to do it. People always need to eat. Always’. Gareth Farr’s touching and inspiring Biscuits for Breakfast at the Hampstead Theatre presents a tale of two individuals who join forces in the hopes of overcoming both their individual and societal struggles. Book your tickets today to witness this heartfelt story at the Hampstead Theatre!
About Biscuits for Breakfast
Biscuits for Breakfast follows the struggles of two everyday dreamers. Meet Paul, a man who is introverted and thoughtful, a man whose only secret is the deep and aching grief that he carries for his father. Then there’s Joanne, a rather defensive and spiky soul, traits that come from having to be a survivor. At first, it appears that the pair do not match, but as time draws on, Paul’s passion for cooking and his taste for finer foods forges an everlasting bond between the two.
Everything appears to be going according to plan, until the sudden announcement that the hotel where Paul and Joanne work is closing. What happens next is a descent into poverty that jeopardises their future, including their plans to open a restaurant and write a cookbook. More importantly, though, is the fact that their hope of creating a life together looks more and more out of reach with each passing day.
