Performances: Nov 12 - Dec 6 @ 7:30 pm / Matinees Sat/Sun: 2:30 pm

Hailed as a “thoroughly flavorful feast of a play” by The Guardian, My English Persian Kitchen chronicles one woman's resettlement in England and then in Belfast after fleeing an abusive husband and her home country of Iran. Longing for her homeland, she turns to her mother’s recipes for solace and strength as she rebuilds both her life and her spirit. This one woman play features the live cooking of traditional Persian ash-e-reshteh (noodle soup) onstage to bring audiences together through the communal nature of food and the joy of finding home.
