Fringe review: ‘Well-Made Bread’ interrogates our role in food and climate

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:47:59 GMT

Worth consideringBaking bread is imagined as an extended metaphor for responding to and combating the climate crisis, if such a thing is meaningfully possible anymore. “‘Well-Made’ Bread” — staged sparsely in a gorgeous (but not air-conditioned) old house — raises these questions but leaves them unfulfilled, which, the two actors say during a self-referential scene, is precisely the point of absurdist theater. In synthesizing pop culture, food system research and conversations with real bakers like Chris MacLeod of Minneapolis’s delightful Laune Bread, who makes a cameo appearance, the show is by turns funny and cerebral, even if the script and voice-over narration are clunky at times.Presented by Madrsosa at Maison Bodega; 2:30 and 7 p.m. Aug. 6, 7 p.m. Aug. 7, 7 p.m. Aug. 10, 7 p.m. Aug. 12, 2:30 and 7 p.m. Aug. 13. (The presenters note there is real fresh bread — and therefore gluten — onsite.)Still unsure of what to see? Check out all our Fringe reviews h...
