Grid Iron, Scotland’s renowned site specific specialists, return with The Devil’s Larder, a show that explores the impact of food on human society. One of the company’s most successful and best-loved shows, it received many awards including a Scotsman Fringe First and a Herald Archangel when it played at the Debenhams store on Princes Street Edinburgh during Fringe 2005.
Jim Crace’s teasingly dark novella is the basis for a journey into a culinary underworld; an uncanny, uncomfortable examination of the envy, love, revenge, hypocrisy, loss and lust which see the beneath the false calm of the menu, the shopping list and the recipe. Jim Crace’s recent novel, Harvest, was short-listed for the 2013 Man Booker Prize.
The production combines excellent performances, live music and a ravishing score to take audience on a gorgeous journey into a culinary underworld.
