Dolly West's Kitchen
Brighton Little Theatre, Brighton, BN1 2EG
Thursday 4th March 2027 7:30PM
The world is at war, but surely peace reigns in neutral rural Ireland?
In Dolly West’s Kitchen, in the coastal town of Buncrana during the Second World War, meals are served with equal helpings of laughter, longing, and sharp-tongued debate. As her family wrestles with the personal and political battles, American soldiers arrive in town and new opportunities — and new tensions — bubble to the surface. Alliances are tested, forbidden desires spark, and the clash between tradition and change threatens to boil over. Both intimate and epic, Frank McGuinness’s play blends humour, heartbreak, and humanity, creating a portrait of ordinarylives caught up in the extraordinary sweep of history.
