The Kitchen play

I went to see this play which was a 2nd year NIDA production at the Parade Theatre. It is a play by Sir Arnold Wesker. I thought the play was ok but my friends didn't really like it but it would have helped if we had read the brochure and understood what it was about before we saw it. It is a play set in a kitchen of a big restaurant and looks into the lives and relationships of the workers. According to the director 'The Kitchen is a satiric portrait of the world which has its own unique hierarch and limitations... orignally the play reflected the social and racial tensions in London int he late 1950s...'

The set looked great, the acting was pretty good but my friends agreed that the actors needed to work on their foreign accents. I do recommend watching plays at NIDA. They're around $25 and it's good to see the upcoming talent. I saw the play 'Closer' a few years back and it was the best play I have ever seen.
