SAUCE is a buddy-comedy about a pair of hot messes, one a kleptomaniac, the other a compulsive liar, whose lives are falling apart. Over the course of a day of moreishly inappropriate situations, they bond over a love of sauce (and all the good things you can drench it with), becoming the best friend that neither knew they needed.
A tasteless and altogether tasty comedy about death, rebirth, and the joys that can only be found in tin-foil tubs, by award-winning Irish writer Ciara Elizabeth Smyth.
SAUCE is a Bare Witness Theatre Company production, directed by one of Canberra's leading theatre-makers, Christopher Samuel Carroll, and starring Ashleigh Butler and Claire Imlach.
"SAUCE will break your heart with a gorgeous vulnerability, while having you smirking at the cleverness of it all and laughing out loud… So good it should come with its own health warning.” ***** (The Arts Review)
"A really funny show... delights in innuendo and provokes hysterics" ****1/2 (The Irish Times)
“SAUCE moves at an almost frantic speed with impeccable timing and delivery throughout its 60 minute running time.”**** (The Reviews Hub)
