What if one meal could change your life? Find out this November. Tickets are on sale through The Gladstone Theatre box office.This 2018 adaptation conceived and developed by Abigail Killeen and written by Rose Courtney reimagines the classic tale by Isak Dinesen (born Karen Blixen) as a rich theatrical event: deep, funny, sensual, dangerous and beautiful. It brings us into the cloistered 19th-century world of two loving, devout Lutheran sisters and tells us how they and their fractured community reluctantly, then completely, embrace Babette, a mysterious French refugee. But when Babette, much to the community’s shock, sacrifices all she has to throw a lavish dinner party, the dinner guests magically and inexplicably experience radical, infinite grace. Babette’s sumptuous feast is more than a meal: it is an act of supreme artistry that invites an abundant experience of forgiveness and transforms the entire community. Through Babette’s Feast, we learn how embracing the stranger can change a community for the better.
