Hungry (NHB Modern Plays)

One night together in a walk-in fridge and the rest is history.Lori has big plans, but Bex is struggling. If we are what we eat, then Bex is in real trouble. It's not her fault though - the system is rigged. No-one on minimum wage and zero hours has the headspace to make their own yoghurt.Chris Bush's Hungry is a play about food, love, class and grief in a world where there's little left to savour.It was premiered by Paines Plough on a UK tour in July 2021.
