Thought-provoking and, at times, delicious... provided you make it to the head of the queue in time for your ration.
Sadly, I missed out on one of my protein rations on the day, but there was no room for bargaining or complaint. I certainly wasn't going to argue with the attendant! Such is life with a scenario of restraint. As a concept, Eating Tomorrow works well, herding the small party of participants from one room to the next, immersing them in what the world might look like if any of the four options were taken with regard to our impact on ecosystems and the world's food supply.
Be prepared to participate. The actors engage you right from the beginning, even with their stern silence, and the choices you make along the way will determine your experience. The opening scene felt quite awkward, but that felt more like my adjustment to the immersive environment. If you've ever sunk in your chair hoping a performer wouldn't choose you for some audience interaction, be prepared! Everyone is included, and the actors are ready to improvise based on your response.
Eating Tomorrow is a clever blend of theatre and dining that educates and entertains. I'll be looking out for other Post Dining events in future!

Listen to Artistic Director, Stephanie Daughtry, chat about Eating Tomorrow on That Entertainment Podcast
What’s for dinner tonight? Fifty years ago, the answer might have been quite different and in 50 years’ time, it’s likely to be just as different again.
Through an interactive and immersive experience that fuses theatre with the dining experience, Post Dining explores four possible future options based on science-based scenarios of growth, restraint, catastrophe and transformation.
How will our food change if the planet’s population continues to grow? What if an earth-changing catastrophe took place. Some of the scenarios may hit a bit close to home, but Eating Tomorrow is a safe space for you to travel into the future and see what might be on our plates, including the dinner plate.
