‘Outrageous satire . . . extremely funny, weirdly touching’ – <i>Guardian</i>
‘A work of genius’ – <i>Scotsman</i>
‘Close-to-the-knuckle farce with a big beating heart’ – <i>Daily Mail</i>
This is the story of an unusual family. Though they are nothing like yours, you will recognize them. They are the last Cannibal-Americans. And they have a problem.
When their mother dies, twelve children gather to dispose of the body in the traditional manner . . . by eating it. But can they follow the ancient rituals of consumption? Is their unique cultural heritage worth preserving if it's this gross? And what about dietary requirements – one of them is vegan. Surely it can't be this hard to do the right thing?
<i>Mother for Dinner</i> is a dark comedy about modern life and its many difficulties.
