Since its premiere in 1998, the production has become a modern theatre classic. Nearly thirty years and more than two hundred performances later, the appetite remains unquenched. The ingredients remain the same: eating, drinking, talking and grilling one another relentlessly.

In My Dinner with André, based on the screenplay of Louis Malle’s film of the same name, Damiaan De Schrijver and Peter Van den Eede take their seats at the table. Every evening, whilst a different chef prepares dinner, they talk. They are quick-witted, full of good humour and with a keen eye for one another and the world around them.
Their conversation meanders from the big questions of life to everyday details, from love and friendship to philosophy, science and theatre. What begins as a civilised conversation slowly turns into a verbal battle in which fiction and reality become increasingly difficult to distinguish from one another. As an audience member, you’re right in the thick of it and, as the evening progresses, you become not just a spectator, but also a guest at the table.
