An Empty Plate in the Cafe du Grand Boeuf at Silver Spring Stage

What to do when the owner and sole patron of the greatest restaurant in Paris returns from the bullfights in Madrid having decided to die of starvation while sitting at one of his own tables? This "comic tragedy in seven courses" is the story of the frantic staff and their attempts to keep "Monsieur" - and the restaurant on which their livelihoods depend - alive. With a pinch of the absurd and a dash of the existential, audiences will delight in this story that celebrates the joys of cooking, the search for life's meaning, and the collected works of Ernest Hemingway.
