New Play Brings Authoritarianism To The Dinner Table

S. Benjamin Farrar
FEAST. stars playwright Megan Gogerty (pictured about) and will have its world premiere Friday, Oct, 25 in Iowa City.

Megan Gogerty made a name for herself in Iowa's theater scene with her witty and comedic writing and delivery. Her latest work "FEAST." is a departure from this style, and takes the audience into a visceral, immersive theater experience where those seated in the theater are just as much a part of the story as Gogerty.

On this segment of Talk of Iowa, Gogerty joins host Charity Nebbe for a look at her new one-woman show set at a dinner party where political discontent and patriarchal critique are on the menu.

"FEAST." has its world premiere Friday, Oct. 25 at Riverside Theatre in Iowa City.
