Can an affair be non-physical? Is infidelity really just about meat slapping together? Or is what goes on behind the meat actually more important? ÔBeefÕ is a contemporary satire about love, meat, and infidelity, set in an Australia of the incredibly-near future. It is a multi-generational tale of unseen consequences, and the pressures of leaving a legacy. But most of all, itÕs the rollicking story of an awkward middle-aged sociophobeÕs attempts to be a good partner and a good father and a good son, in the context of desperately trying not to have an affair with a wildly attractive psychicÉ a psychic who insists they are going to end up together, like it or not, because ÒitÕs destinyÓ.
From one of Australia's most-awarded comedy writers, ÔBeefÕ explores desire and faithfulness in a dystopian future Australia where bizarre cults thrive, where music is advertising, where psychics are out of the closet, and where meat is no longer murder.
