Summary:

Gareth Farr's play Biscuits for Breakfast is a tender, heartfelt drama about families - the ones we inherit and the ones we create - and the struggle to survive when times get tough. It opened at Hampstead Theatre, London, on 5 May 2023. The play revolves around an unlikely couple: Joanne is spiky, defensive, a survivor, while Paul is quiet, considered, and hiding profound grief for his father. But the pleasure he takes in cooking - and the astonishing food he prepares - creates a bond between them. Then, when the hotel where they both work closes and they start to spiral into poverty, it throws everything up in the air: first their plans for a cookbook and a restaurant, and, eventually, even their dreams of a future together. The premiere production was directed by Tessa Walker and performed by Ben Castle-Gibb, Boadicea Ricketts, Giles King and Rufus Flowers.
