Avenue Stage Presents Fish Food
Long before he was President, he really liked to buy hotels.
It’s 1990 in Boston. Like the Berlin Wall, Joe Bacon’s life has been reduced to rubble. On the day of his father’s long-overdue burial at sea, a bizarre interview leads to a job in the basement of the Plaza Court Hotel. Celebrity financier Avery Grand (bestselling author of that 1980s classic The Deal Is Everything) has promised a facelift for this faded beauty, but furniture and fine wine are disappearing at an alarming rate. Joe finds a ready-made dysfunctional family among his rather unhinged co-workers, who will go to extreme lengths to protect their livelihoods. But will scuttling around town with unmarked bags of cash really help him get ahead?
Has delighted audiences with its quirky characters and its nostalgic look at the fashions and mores of the late eighties. From shoulder-padded jackets to telephones with cords, FISH FOOD takes us back to an era when talk was cheap and capitalism was (almost) sexy.
