Asher Cooks Up a Storm with New Stage Role???

Actress and founder of the Party Cakes shop in Chelsea Jane Asher looks set to combine both her passions, bringing famous food writer Elizabeth David to the stage in a play currently being written by Hugh Whitemore. The Daily Mail reports that Asher – who was appeared in Peter Hall‘s 2009 revival of Alan Ayckbourn‘s Bedroom Farce at the Rose Theatre Kingston and in the theatre’s panto later that year – hopes begin performances by the end of the autumn, having approached a director and producing partners. Although expecting a one-woman show, Asher told the Mail Whitemore has written a two-act drama for four or five actors and a functioning kitchen titled Some Rather Special Dinner Parties.
