    In the kitchen of an enormous West End restaurant, the orders are piling up: a post-war feast of soup, fish, cutlets, omelettes, and fruit flans.

    Thrown together by their work, chefs, waitresses, and porters from across Europe—English, Irish, German, Jewish—argue and flirt as they race to keep up. Peter, a high-spirited young cook, seems to thrive on the pressure. In between preparing dishes, he manages to strike up an affair with married waitress Monique, the whole time dreaming of a better life.

    Arnold Wesker’s extraordinary play premiered at the Royal Court in 1959 and has since been performed in over 30 countries. The Kitchen puts the workplace center stage in a darkly funny examination of life lived at breakneck speed, when work threatens to define who we are.

    This production, performed at London's National Theatre, is directed by Bijan Sheibani and features Tom Brooke, Neal Barry and Katie Lyons.
