Take a seat at the dinner table! A story of migration, new beginnings and comfort...food. Don't miss the debut solo show from actor and comedian Julia Mayer; a family recipe, stirred with passion, simmered with soul and served with homegrown tomatoes.

"An enigmatic performer, I couldn't take my eyes off her." - Audience Review ('Chameleon' by FRANK. Theatre, Rumpus Season 2020)
