The sharing of food. In most cultures, this has always meant. . . 'welcome'. Gastronomic is a seven-course tasting menu, prepared by three sky chefs, on board an Airbus A380 heading for London. Ingredients mix, tastes cross-pollinate, and strangers break bread together as the chefs guide you through a British-inspired culinary journey. On the ground at Heathrow, border control is on high alert. Gastronomic reveals the blueprints of the world's best chefs and celebrates the importance of eating together. This edition was published to coincide with the production at curious directive's studio theatre, Norwich, in May 2023.

An immersive dining play that critiques anti-migrant sentiment - complete with a seven-course tasting menu - set in first class on-board an Airbus A380 flight to London, from Norwich-based theatre company curious directive.
