“The Baker’s Oven” is a set in the American south in the 1930s and explores themes of family, religion versus science, abuse and sexual identity.  It is intensely dark as it unearths the subtle complexity of human deceipt and human pain as everyone in it has a secret and no one is what they seem to be. “The Baker’s Oven” has a classic feel to it with a contemporary sensibility, something akin to “American Beauty”, “Death of A Salesman” and Tennesee Williams in the same room. It is set in the depression and though it explodes in violence, showing the monster ‘within’, as exemplified by the sinister Baker’s oven,  inside everyone is starving for love, connection and acceptance.  Christopher Green-Goodwin has written a masterpiece that enthralls, excites and disturbs the audience.
