The
Kitchen Sink is set in a run down seaside town, following a family through a
year. Martin’s milk float has seen better days – particularly the bits strewn
over the kitchen floor. His wife Kath is concerned about him, about the state
of her kitchen sink – and with their children: Billy aspires to enter art
college, but his Dolly Parton portrait could let him down, while Sophie dreams
of training as a ju-jitsu teacher - if she can keep her temper under control,
and deal with the attentions of a young plumber who is himself caring for his
ailing granny.
There is poignancy and pain, but through it all runs a deep vein of black comedy: the play is by turns hilarious and very touching; witty and warm.
The Telegraph’s review of it west end debut judged it: “one of the best new plays I have seen anywhere this year, and I cannot recommend it too highly.”
Neither can we!
The Kitchen Sink is on 16-17 and 20-14 October: tickets and further details are available on our website.
