Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)
Bette, a beloved YouTube cooking sensation, built her brand as a relatable single mother with her toddler sous chef, KitKat, by her side. Now the host of a major network show, she struggles to stay palatable while teenage Kit grows increasingly withdrawn, his emergent climate activism leading him into the radical corners of the Internet. When the network pressures Bette to spice up her show and Kit asks to make a guest appearance to promote his niche online channel, the generational rift between them turns their televised reunion into a recipe for disaster.
Incisive, edgy, and deliciously funny, Zorana Sadiq’s Comfort Food picks apart the performative identities and echo chambers of our insatiable culture of spectacle and consumption. Exploring familial love, planetary inheritance, and the radicalization of chronically online youth, this potent play asks if our feeds provide the nourishment we truly hunger for.
