Moving from the biggest democracy on the planet to one of the newest, "Bites" takes us back to Afghanistan via Texas. In the last diner at the end of a world ravaged by war, a menu of love, death and revenge is served by the 'hired help'. Seven courses make for a poetic feast of universal tales looking back to the forgotten war and forward to a nightmarish future. "Bites" was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in January 2005.
