In SBS’s “Food Safari”, host Maeve O’Mara sometimes seems like she’s been thrown out of her depth, into some kind of cultural practice of a culinary variety that is unfamiliar, and Maeve just isn’t quite handling it.
It’s not that she isn’t respectful, just not comfortable with it all.
While the overall impression was satisfying, there was a bit of that going on with this production.
Amidst some capable and immersive portrayals, the madness on stage was fractious and riddled with mania and an infantile energy that at times infected even the straight characters.
