Theatresauce's latest production Come Home And Eat is as Malaysian as it gets. It draws its title from the phrase many Malaysians grow up hearing from their parents and elders.

On the surface, it sounds like little more than a simple request. But its subtext is complex and meaningful, where food becomes a medium to convey affection, express concern, offer forgiveness and rekindle fraught relationships.
