MORTAL MEAL SERVICES
AN IMMERSIVE, PROMENADE-STYLE PLAY FOR AN AUDIENCE OF ONE ABOUT FINDING WONDER IN THE FACE OF GRIEF.
(Creator, Devisor) Spring 2020
Mortal Meal Services is a promenade-style play for an audience of one at the Woodlands Cemetery in West Philadelphia. In it, Mortal Meal Services invites audiences to go on a whimsical, interactive hero’s journey to craft the perfect Last Meal. With the help of the one-and-only Chef Sohrab and other guides, the audience just might make it to the Afterlife After Times Afterparty for the meal of a lifetime and a taste of wonder in the face of grief. But time is running out!
