An ancient magical creature disguised as a middle-aged lady has invited you to her dinner party in order to right a few wrongs. An immersive, visceral theatre experience where mythology crashes into pop culture, FEAST. reimagines the Beowulf story as a warning against the rising forces of authoritarianism. It's a dinner party that's also a one-woman show. It's a cry of resistance against tyranny. It's a revenge tale that ends in reconciliation. It's a FEAST.

 Shrewd Productions is proud to present the regional premiere of FEAST, written by Megan Gogerty, directed by Melissa McKnight, and starring 7-time B. Iden Payne Best Actress Award winner Katherine CatmullFEAST asks - When will Justice be served?

The production team includes Amy Lewis (Lighting Design), Johann Solo (Sound Design), Shannon Grounds and Melissa McKnight (Set and Properties Design), with Stage Management by Fernando Lara and House Management by Vee Thorpe.

Praise for FEAST.:

There is rage and rawness and biting satire in this show. There are plenty of things to make you laugh, but also tenderness that will draw tears. - Culture Spot LA

Thrillingly unconventional… - Minneapolis Star-Tribune

It is a confessional that transitions into a call to arms. And it is decidedly not ordinary theater.” Talkin' Broadway

Feast. takes aim at and exposes all the rage in the room: the loss, the despair, the need for revenge. But somehow, also, by the end, all the hope, too. It’s an epic song about love that leaves you singing along. - Little Village
