Dinner With The 42’s

A new and intriguing Dark Comedy Dinner With The 42’s is written by Scott Sparrow. Set in a future where the human race is on the brink of extinction, total strangers Eva and Burn are thrust together into a Human Breeding Facility. They face the seemingly impossible challenge of conceiving a child. They must produce a healthy baby or become food for stronger individuals. After an awkward introduction, Eva and Burn attempt to recreate the long-lost ritual of the ‘first date’ to strengthen their bond and ensure their survival.

It’s breed-or-be-eaten… And time is not on their side.

Dinner With The 42’s is written by Scott Sparrow (Performers Travel Guide, Isabella) and directed by Greg Karvellas (Master Harold and The Boys, Shakespeare in Love, The Father.) It was designed and lit by award-winning designer Niall Griffin (The Outlaw Muckridge, The Line, Your Song) and features a powerhouse cast including Emily Child (The Hucksters, The Pervert Laura, The Road To Mecca), Nicholas Pauling (Amadeus, Champ, A Steady Rain, The Hucksters) and Brent Palmer (A Steady Rain, The Father, The Room).
