An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf

An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf was playwright Michael Hollinger’s first of many plays to premiere at the Arden Theatre. This all-new production is a delicious, dark comedy celebrating the joys of cooking, sex, bullfighting and the collected works of Ernest Hemingway.

It’s 1961 and Victor is a wealthy American expatriate living in Paris. He owns the fabulous Café du Grand Boeuf – the world’s greatest restaurant reserved solely for his private use. He arrives one summer evening after a trip to Madrid in a very bleak mood and announces to his staff his decision to starve himself to death!
