A Recipe for Disaster

EGO Arts Venue

27 April 2023 to 29 April 2023 (19:30 - 20:15)

Description

Fifteen desperate people. One bonkers idea to get rich quick. When residents of Beaver’s Bottom discover that the recipe for the elixir of life was misplaced somewhere in their local museum, they take jobs there each hoping they’ll be the first to find it, sell it, and become a millionaire. A Recipe for Disaster is a fantasy mystery heist with shock twists and slapstick comedy. An original play brought to you by Coventry’s EGO Arts, a professional cast of actors, and a community ensemble of 14 to 25 year olds with learning disabilities and/or autism. Tickets for this show are Pay What You Can. You choose how much to pay. We recommend £10 per ticket. If you can't afford this much, type in a lower amount at the checkout. If you can afford more, we'd appreciate your support. It's completely up to you. Suitable for all ages. Produced by EGO Arts. Funded by Arts Council England and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. Poster artwork by Emma Ranić.
