You are cordially invited to Lady Dupray’s exclusive parlour for a cooking presentation by the ingenious Mary Eales. Mrs. Eales dazzled the royal court with her most famous recipe for ice cream – and now her innovation, once only available to Queen Anne and her guests, will be crafted just for you! No need to bring your own straw and salt; all will be provided.
No.11 Productions has whipped up a new theatrical confection, written by Danny Tieger and inspired by the 1718 cookbook, "Mrs. Mary Eales’ Receipts". As Mary presents her famed dishes à la Julia Child, snippets from her past bubble up and we see how she’s used the extraordinary power of sugar to overcome seemingly impossible odds. But Mary’s past is hurtling towards a secret future that hangs on the success of her cooking presentation. “a culinary delight” -- Says Me Says Mom "Appealing and astute, and if you are a fan of culinary history, and cooking shows, Sugarcraft should be on your list of must-sees.” -- Mark Kappel, Newsnotes Dance Blog “Funny, heartwarming, educational, and full of many felicitous surprises.” -- Eva Heinemann, Hi! Drama “A charming performance by Julie Congress” -- New York Stage Review “The aesthetic elements of the show were tremendous, and I commend the design team for their truly beautiful work.” -- Pages on Stages “A gifted cast leaves you hungry in all the right ways.” -- The100WordReview “I was very charmed. That’s my overall impression — charmed and joyous, with ice cream.” -- Hannah is Eating |
