This adaptation reimagines Isak Dinesen’s classic tale as a rich theatrical event—deep, funny, sensual, dangerous, and beautiful. It brings audiences into the cloistered 19th-century world of two loving, devout Lutheran sisters and recounts how they, along with their fractured community, reluctantly yet profoundly embrace Babette, a mysterious French refugee.

When Babette shocks the community by sacrificing everything to host a lavish dinner party, the guests magically and inexplicably experience radical, infinite grace. Babette’s sumptuous feast transcends a mere meal; it becomes an act of supreme artistry, offering an abundant experience of forgiveness that transforms the entire community. Babette’s Feast teaches us how welcoming the stranger can profoundly change a community for the better.
