About the Play: From rags to riches. From gentrified to gentrifiers. Newly married and Michelin-starred chef Renata Machado is living her ancestors’ wildest dreams. But after an unsavory review, the fate of the restaurant and Renata’s reputation are in limbo. A quest for redemption soon spirals into a destructive obsession, and just as Renata’s whole world seems to collapse, so does the global food chain.
