17percent

There are going to be literally hundreds of things you could see if you are spending some time next month in Edinburgh. But here are a few female-written/created shows that we like the sound of.

Chef by Sabrina Mahfouz

Chef tells the gripping story of how one woman went from being a haute-cuisine head-chef to a convicted inmate running a prison kitchen. Sabrina Mahfouz’s distinct award-winning lyrical style and Jade Anouka’s mesmerising performance make this an extraordinary, must-see, new show. Leading us through her world of mouth-watering dishes and heart-breaking memories, Chef questions our attitudes to food, prisoners, violence, love and hope. Inspired by an interview Mahfouz conducted with Ollie Dabbous, Chef studies food as the ultimate art form taking stimulus from Dabbous’ obsession with simplicity and making something the best it can be. Underbelly Cowgate – Big Belly from 31^st July at 6.10pm.
