Burnt Toast @ Battersea Arts Centre

From Norwegian experimental theatre-makers Susie Wang, Burnt Toast combines reality and surreal horror to create an experience that challenges the boundaries of human nature.

We find ourselves somewhere in the Deep South, in an all-red hotel lobby with a front desk and two elevators — one going up and one going down.

Betty, the receptionist, dutifully minds her desk as Danny arrives, chained to a mysterious silver briefcase. His attention soon turns to Violet—a woman sipping an eggnog cocktail while cradling her daughter. Could her child be his?

As their conversation deepens, questions spiral and danger unfolds, blending love and horror in a bloody descent into the unknown.
