Supper (Bespoke Plays)

SUPPER follows four super rich and estranged brothers who are definitely not based on infamous right-wing industrialists the Koch brothers. As they reunite in Japan on the eve of the eldest brothers wedding, what follows is a savage feast of lies, recriminations, and bitter truths served with a side of jet-black humor. Supper is a brute farce custom built for the age of Trump.

Darrett Sanders, Alex Elliott-Funk , Keiko Elizabeth, Joel Scher and Will McFadden will reprise their roles from Theatre of NOTEs Stage Raw nominated production of Phinneas Kiyomuras SUPPER in a reading at at The Pico (10508 Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90064), January 15th and 17th at 8pm, under the direction of Alina Phelan.

"The clan on display in Phinneas Kiyomuras bleak comedy brings to mind that familiar adage of Tolstoys about unhappy families being unhappy in their own way... Its no surprise that this disparate gathering is fertile ground for laughs, tension, and much that is dark and muted, and Kiyomura cleverly mines it for all its worth. - Stage Raw

"Its a frequently funny and outrageously dark portrayal of male rivalry, aggression and bonding in an imaginary universe where theres absolutely nothing around to restrain them... Kiyomuras pitch-black narrative Id call it a comedy except that by the end I wasnt sure it was one is nowhere near naturalistic, nor does it try to be... inspired shenanigans" - LA Weekly

This is one meal you will never forget." - Santa Monica Observer
