TASTE

A delicious romp of a show inspired by the tapestries of Grayson Perry, and relishing in our national obsessions with social class and the cultural extremities of food, fashion and style.

 

TASTE

Blending theatre, dance, writing and music and brought to you by choreographers Sally Knight (Cscape) and Neil Paris (Smith Dance/Fabulous Beast) with writing by Murray Lachlan Young (BBC Radio), TASTE explores what defines our identity and ponders the intricacies behind our choices.  A dance show with a difference that’s as refreshing as a nice cup of tea!

Reviews

  • “It’s an insightful, highly amusing, biting and, at times, upsetting satire on class and taste… If there was ever a Cornish production which deserves to follow forebears such as Kneehigh on to the national stage, it’s this one.”
