A play about celebrity chefs and the price you have to pay for ambition, from the Imaginary Body, the team behind the smash hit 100. Top chef Frank Byrne has one ambition in life - to win the coveted third Michelin star for his restaurant, which will bring him the success he craves and confirm his reputation as the best. But reaching the top comes at a price... Set in the turbulent world of celebrity chefs, Food explores the compulsive nature of perfectionism and the sacrifices we make to realise our dreams. Joel Horwood and Christopher Heimann's play Food was first staged by the Imaginary Body at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in 2006, winning an Edinburgh Fringe First Award.

A strikingly original play combining traditional storytelling with physical theatre, created by The Imaginary Body. Imagine that you must choose one single memory from your life. Imagine that choosing this memory is your only way of passing through to eternity. Imagine that you have just one hour to choose... 100 was first performed at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won a Fringe First Award. It subsequently went on an extensive international tour, including a sell-out run at the Soho Theatre, London. 'Armed with only five bamboo sticks, the actors created a visual piece of theatre that captured the imagination of every spectator... They all left the theatre thinking about what their 'one memory' would be' Joyce McMillan
