My English Persian Kitchen
Written by award-winning Hannah Khalil, directed by Chris White and starring Isabella Nefar, this life-affirming new play chronicles the journey of one woman's quest to start again!
About My English Persian Kitchen
By Hannah Khalil, based on the story by Atoosa Sepehr
What would you take if you were forced to leave home with no hope of returning? How would you make a fresh start somewhere completely new? This is the true story of 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.
My English Persian Kitchen is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
