GRAZE
SYNOPSIS
CEREMONIOUS - AGRICULTURAL - UNCAGED
Be Our Guest... A soiree of uncaged anecdotes, hosted by our Maitre D’ Pig, his animal farm colleagues and three acrobatic-singing waiters, who narrate your journey through the absurd. Our evening of sophisticated dining and entertainment can only be interrupted by the antagonizing Wolf, who, like many of us, is incapable of evolving with the changing times and has led to his association with the God-Farmer. Black Sheep Security are the only one who can help the Maitre D’ from preventing the whole evening's festivities from falling into complete chaos, but at what sacrifice? When will Black Sheep reveal itself?

PROLOGUE
Once upon time, when food was scarce, man had to survive as a carnivore feeding on whatever they bought back from the hunt. In a parallel universe (post George Orwell’s Animal Farm novel) where animals have succeeded and an agricultural revolution ha s happened , society now only feeds on a vegetarian diet and farmyard animals have had to leave their habitats and seek new employment amongst the human population.
