Sweetbitter tells the story of Tess, a 22-year-old who arrives in New York City ready to pursue a new life. When she’s invited to train at one of the best restaurants in the city, she thinks she’s found a steady income and a safe place to wait. But Tess is quickly intoxicated by the chaotic, adrenalized world behind-the-scenes: tasting expensive wine, exploring dive bars, and learning who she can trust. Sweetbitter illuminates the sensory journey of developing a palate. How the sweet, sour, salt, bitter, and umami threaten, complement, and ultimately need each other so that we can learn to taste. Sweetbitter is based on the bestselling novel by written by Stephanie Danler. People magazine raved that the book is a "sexy, astute debut which is really a love story about the addictive pull of restaurant life.”

Ella Purnell is one to watch. The young British actress starred in Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children with a leading breakout role as “Emma.” Her other film credits include Churchill, Never Let Me Go, Kick-Ass 2, Maleficent, The Journey Is the Destination, and Intruders. On stage in London, Purnell recently led a performance in “Natives” an original play about teenagers coming-of-age in the digital world. Purnell will soon be seen next year in BBC One’s three-part adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel, Ordeal by Innocence, starring alongside Bill Nighy.
