Join the Flavours of Persia in Canterbury

The story of a woman forced to flee her home and recreate the tastes and aromas of her mother's kitchen in a foreign land is a powerful one, and it's this true story that has inspired the new play, _My English Persian Kitchen_. This play is not just about food, but about the way it can bring people together and create a sense of community and belonging. As the heroine lovingly recreates the dishes of her childhood, she builds a welcoming community around her, and in doing so, discovers a new recipe for life.

The play is inspired by the true story of best-selling cookery book author Atoosa Sepehr, and has been written by award-winning playwright Hannah Khalil. Khalil's life-affirming new play has already been produced by Soho Theatre and the Traverse, and opened at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2024. The play has been directed by Chris White, and its timely themes of community, identity, and belonging are sure to resonate with audiences.

One of the unique aspects of this play is the way it marries the flavours of Persia with the story of one woman's quest to start again. The play is a celebration of the power of food to bring people together, and to create a sense of community and belonging. As the heroine navigates her new life, she finds solace in the familiar tastes and aromas of her childhood, and in doing so, creates a new sense of home.
