MELBOURNE | One of my highlights of The Melbourne Food & Wine Festival 2024 was Gluttony: The Play. In what’s great news for anyone who missed out earlier this year, or is keen to see the critically acclaimed play again, it’s set to return for a second season at the Hotel Windsor in October.
Set in the fictional restaurant, ‘Gourmandise’, Gluttony is a play about a group of old friends who get together for the first time in a long time, and work through their friendship, love, longing, and betrayal.
Written by playwright, Nick Parr and chef, Rob Kabboord (Ex Quay, Merricote), Gluttony is an immersive food-wine-and-theatre experience that seats diners among and around the performance. There’s no audience participation, and it’s quite a unique experience being in amongst the action, whether it’s at the main dining table that the actors are on, or on the periphery.
‘Around the Main’ are seats at or around the main table, and include champagne on arrival and a three-course meal by Rob with matched wines. ‘In the Round’ tickets sit you further away from the action (but still very close), with champagne on arrival and a selection of Rob’s snacks with a glass of wine for $195/person.
You can book tickets here.
