Henry's career and marriage are in ruins, and his opera-singing wife Claudia wonders why he spends his days translating an obscure play about a boorish King and his beloved food taster. But sometimes a dusty play can speak to us from the past and provide the sustenance we need. Characters pass between the present day and medieval times, weaving a richly layered tapestry of theatre. Henry finds the nourishment he craves in the simple wisdom of a man gifted not only in the art of tasting, but of selfless service to others.
