THEATRE WORKS PRESENTS
My Anxiety is a B*tch Who Bakes
CREATED AND DIRECTED BY KASEY BARRATT
29 SEPTEMBER - 3 OCTOBER | EXPLOSIVES FACTORY
CREATED AND DIRECTED BY KASEY BARRATT
They say baking is good for the soul. Well... whoever said that is a massive f*cking liar!
Luce's kitchen has been taken over by Annie, a drag queen who won't stop making muffins.
After yet another disastrous attempt at blueberry muffins, Luce decides it's time to put an end to Annie's incessant baking, before they burn down the kitchen (again).
What follows is a series of baking fails, broken eggs, spilt flour and unsuccessful sabotage and the world's silliest food fight.
Can Luce and Annie learn to co-exist? Is there such a thing as too many muffins? And maybe baking isn't really that good for the soul?
My Anxiety is a B*tch Who Bakes, is a silly, messy, entertaining catharsis for the existentially anxious, combining a breakdown with baking, and a shit-ton of muffins, into a deliciously hilarious recipe.
