Revel in the unapologetic excess of a world gone mad in CAKE, a wicked multi-Matilda Award nominated satire exploring the perils of cancel culture and the power of reputation.
Join Marie Antoinette’s Royal Court and witness her scandalous cascade through orgies, alcohol and debauchery on the road to her inevitable beheading.
“Audiences can expect a silly and energetic performance, which is cut through with a keen satirical edge. It is a cheeky manipulation of history that pulls you in, makes you laugh, and makes you think,” say creators Emma Churchland and Dan Gough of IMRSE. “You can expect dancing, laughter, lots of pink, splatters of frosting and a rather suggestive cow costume.”
Returning to Metro Arts by popular request for a second serve, this provocative comedy serves as a deliciously dark exploration of morality as social currency and the consequences of our self-righteous pursuit of the moral high ground.
