GULP!

About the Project

An ordinary morning spirals into a full lifetime love story between Henry and his breakfast. He wants an entire life with his new wife, but she’ll be overripe by dinner. Whimsically imaginative, GULP! is a boy-meets-banana clown show that audiences are calling “wildly inventive”, “surrealist” and “unexpectedly heartfelt”.
