It has been announced that Eleanor Rhode will stage the first London revival of Richard Bean's Toast at the Park Theatre (Park200) later this year.
The play, Bean’s first to be professionally produced on stage, is based on the year he spent working in a mass production bread plant as a teenager, with each character inspired by someone he worked alongside.
Another Sunday night shift. The smell of bread baking. The industrial thump, thump, thump of the machines that never stop. The ovens are cranked up to full blast, the factory is humming, and everyone wants to be somewhere else.
But this shift is going to be different. Because when a crisis hits the factory, the men have more to lose than just their wages.
Snapdragon Productions return to the Park Theatre following their productions of Thark and The Dead Wait. Toast opens on Friday 29th August (previews from 27th August) and runs until Sunday 21st September 2014.
