My English Persian Kitchen
Soho Theatre
What would you take if you had to leave home with no hope of returning?
How would you make a fresh start somewhere completely new? This is the true story about one woman who loses everything.
Remembering the tastes and aromas of her mother’s kitchen with live cooking on stage, she recreates the dishes of her childhood and homeland, building a new life and community around food.
Written by award-winning Hannah Khalil from the story by Atoosa Sepehr, this life-affirming play chronicles one woman’s quest to start again.
Includes depictions of domestic violence, loud noises and live cooking.
