Jeux de Mots trans.WORDPLAY presents FOODACTS a new play at the Lion Theatre (410 West 42nd Street) conceived and directed by Barbara Bosch with only 16 performances, February 6-24, 2013.

FOODACTS is a culinary stage adventure that explores our primal connections to food and its power to unite. Through an entertaining encounter with established novels, colorful poetry, historic essays, personal letters and other literary works by Langston Hughes, Proust, Homer, and Dickens, among others, FOODACTS serves up the joys of food and eating. It goes beyond the mere palate, revealing how human beings relate to and obsess over food from as far back as The Bible to today.

Barbara Bosch directs a cast of seven including Robert Allan, Judith Barcroft* (Bway: Dinner at Eight, Betrayal, Elephant Man, Plaza Suite), Gwen Eyster, Peter Husovsky*, Jaclyn Mitgang, Mark Ringer, and Antonio Edwards Suarez* (Bway: American Buffalo – Leguizamo understudy; Off -Bway: Chaucer in Rome – Lincoln Center).
