Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Olive Grove.
New York trend-spotter Peter Noirelle is desperately seeking the next big thing in food. Responding to a letter from his long absent rouge of a father, he travels to a tiny French village and is drawn into a crazy culinary scam - Greque en Provence, a frightful fusion of French and Greek cuisine. While his brother attempts to facilitate a touching father-son reunion, Peter gets sucked deeper and deeper into his father's mad scheme, while being distracted by bizarre stories of their hilariously ill-fated forefathers. Will tourists flood Provence seeking out dolmades escargot and fetta fondu? Can Peter translate it into a supermarket winner? Or will the sex-mad Australian celebrity chef who just happens to be in town blow the scheme sky high?
Bruno Bouchet's wicked new comedy is an inspired send up of food fads, father-son relationships, and all those lavender-scented, olive oil-drizzled, herb-encrusted memoirs of Provence.
