ButterButter
Synopsis:
BUTTER is a humorous and touching play based on the stories of real women, capturing the complex nature of the female relationship with food. The piece stems from recent interviews with women of all ages, a series of workshops with several female actors and the personal experiences of Lady Junk company members. We need food to survive but in modern day it has become so much more than that - BUTTER delves into the joy, sadness, nostalgia, rage and indifference that comes when women and food meet, and raises playful and serious questions about the delight and despair surrounding eating. BUTTER is a funny, moving and accessible exploration of something so important and present in our culture, and asks the audience to look further than the general umbrella canvas that covers the issues surrounding female body image, and instead go a step beyond and engage with the moment in which so many awful and amazing things can occur for a female - the moment of taking a bite. A play that reaches the extremes of joy and the depths of sadness, BUTTER is all about food and females, and the love-hate relationship between the two.
