The play tells the story of Babette, a French refugee, who finds safety in a pious Norwegian fishing village. With extravagant generosity, Babette prepares a feast that shocks her neighbours and heals their fractured community.
Conceived and developed by Abigail Killeen, and written by Rose Courtney, this new stage adaptation premiered in January 2018 in Portland, Maine (USA), to rave reviews, before enjoying a successful run in New York. If you’ve seen the Oscar-winning film or read the story, you know that Babette’s Feast is a beautiful and timeless story with a big impact. And Joining the Dots Theatre can’t wait to introduce Babette and our amazing cast and crew to Sydney audiences!
A timely show for schools, community groups, neighbours and theatre friends.
As Babette says, “Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost!’”

COVID update 6/1/22
Sydney theatres have issued a joint statement outlining how to keep casts and audiences as
safe as possible and we will be adopting their recommendations. All patrons will be required
to show their vaccination certificate and to wear masks during the performance. The Greek
Theatre is a spacious theatre and although we have allocated seating, if you would prefer to
be socially distanced in the theatre, this will most likely be possible.
