A cooking competition becomes a hilarious battleground for belonging.
As Memphis’s annual “Hot Wang Festival” approaches, Cordell Crutchfield is determined to win the crown with the support of his partner Dwayne and their friends, aka “The New Wing Order.” Just when victory seems certain, a family tragedy brings Dwayne’s troubled nephew into the mix, turning their preparations into a recipe for chaos. Katori Hall’s Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy explores the challenges and rewards of being true to yourself and the families we create.
“A production to treasure.” – BroadwayWorld
“This Pulitzer-winning play delicately explores issues of race, sexuality and masculinity with humour as the main ingredient.” – The Guardian
“Katori Hall's genial play, built around a cooking contest in Memphis, uses a sitcom structure to explore black masculinity.” – The New York Times
