When life gives you lemons… Fuck lemons, order a takeaway.

​

Mella is a compulsive liar. Maura is a kleptomaniac. Both are hot messes whose lives are falling apart. Over the course of a day of moreishly inappropriate situations, they bond over a love of sauce (and all the good things you can drench it with), becoming the best friend that neither knew they needed.

​

A tasteless and altogether tasty comedy about death, rebirth, and the joys that can only be found in tin-foil tubs, by award-winning Irish writer Ciara Elizabeth Smyth.

 

"SAUCE will break your heart with a gorgeous vulnerability, while having you smirking at the cleverness of it all and laughing out loud… So good it should come with its own health warning.” ★★★★★ (The Arts Review)

 

"A really funny show... delights in innuendo and provokes hysterics" ★★★★☆ (The Irish Times)

 

“SAUCE moves at an almost frantic speed with impeccable timing and delivery throughout its 60 minute running time.” ★★★★ (The Reviews Hub)
