Writer Sarah Kosar
Director Ophelia Fellhauer
When Andrea dies suddenly, the arrival of her mysterious final wish forces her grieving daughter and husband to confront their fractured relationship: a ‘digestive memorial’. In this darkly comedic, visceral play about family, grief and red meat, Sarah Kosar asks how far we’d go to reconnect with the ones we love most.
Ophelia Fellhauer is a director currently training at Mountview. Originally from Germany, she specialises in new writing and contemporary plays. She recently graduated from Exeter University, where she was Artistic Director of the Exeter University Theatre Company. With her theatre company Spot on the Ceiling Productions, she made her Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2024 with SOS BRN after a sold-out run at the Exeter Phoenix. Most recently, she has assistant directed Lyndsey Turner on ‘The Hunt’ at Mountview.
This play features loud sounds, mention of car crashes and other catastrophises, cannibalism, cooking and eating onstage, depictions of grief, references to death and depression.
