With government leaders getting poisoned left and right, the Tasters have an important job—eating delicious, gourmet meals, and then waiting to see if they die. When rebellious Taster Elyse goes on a hunger strike, she kicks off a series of events that will change the course of history…while putting all of the Tasters’ lives in jeopardy. In her sharp, energetic new play, Meghan Brown (The Pliant Girls) explores the nuances of political resistance, self-interest and individual action creating hope in the face of hopelessness.
