Toast - The Palace Theatre

August 4, 2019 by Leigh-on-sea.com

The Palace Theatre - Tuesday 3rd - Saturday 7th September 

Toast vividly recreates Nigel Slater’s childhood through the tastes and smells he shares with his mother, culminating in the young Nigel’s escape to London. From making the perfect sherry trifle, through the playground politics of sweets, the rigid rules of restaurant dining, and a domestic war over cakes, this is a moving and evocative tale of love, loss and…toast.
