DEBUT PRODUCTION by new kids on the block Three Pillars Productions.  Patisserie Femme is based in a bakery in the heart of Cape Town amidst an array of mouth watering confectionaries. The performers take on a mockumentary, meta-theatre style of performance where they explore a bakery dedicated to selling not pastries, not cakes, but women.  We witness interesting employee interactions as well as funny, heart wrenching confessions of key ingredients that live in a bakery pantry...let's hear it for The Cherry On Top and Yeast!  This piece is performed by two women who are constantly switching between characters, and even playing the characters of inanimate objects - everything that one sees in this piece is created solely by the performers’ bodies. Patisserie Femme tackles issues of society pushing certain conventions onto the bodies of women and references many a sexual innuendo. From sugar babies to buns in the oven, this play is a satire that is sure to make its audience think, laugh and most importantly, talk.
