Social satire meets absurdist comedy in this hilarious, award-winning, off-Broadway hit comedy.

Amanda, an anorexic poet of some pretensions, has been married for three weeks, but her husband, Ford, has been missing for two. She calls a helpline and reaches Bea, a self-obsessed crisis hotline volunteer who dispenses hilariously useless advice with forceful aplomb. Enter Ford, the mute husband; add Serge, his completely vain runway model lover; Otto Serge’s food-junkie stalker, add a fair dose of riotous chaos and some unexpected family ties and you’ve got The Food Chain - Nicky Silver at his wacky, zany best.

“Mean, smart and hilarious—his best play yet…built to barrel down the laugh track and explode when it hits human misery.” —Washington Post.
