Scenes From A Chinese Restaurant

Food & Writing.

Goes together like love & marriage.

Inside this collection, you can feast upon three plays.

SENSUOUS GOURMET & THE SICHUAN PEPPERCORN
    This play was conceived in Boulder, Colorado while conducting a private workshop with friends in a private residence.  I wanted to marry our senses to our creative muses.   I gathered an array of differing scents.  Vanilla.  Sichuan Peppercorns.  Lavender.  Mint.   Orange.  Olive oil.  Cinnamon.  Each writer sniffed inhaled breathed deeply and let the aroma speak to our soul.  Our inner voices.  Then, we wrote.
And shared, like a meal, family-style.

THE FAMISHED
   Hunger can transport us to places we've never been, to places we never imagined, to places outside ourselves.  That's what this play explores, how two people meet up and need each other.  This play was inspired by a true request from a total stranger that I cook for him, for hire, in my home.

SCENES FROM A CHINESE RESTAURANT
  This play is inspired by all my friends in the dating world, and all my friends who love to eat.  How does our relationship to food affect our relationship to each other.  Many of my omnivore buddies won't date vegans.  Adventurous eaters versus meat and potatoes.  Food is more than meets the eye.

This collection of plays can be purchased from JAC Publishing, and is available on Amazon.com

Bon Appetit!
