The Kitchen (play)

The Kitchen is a 1957 play by Arnold Wesker. It was Wesker's first work and is his most performed play. It has been produced in sixty cities including Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Paris—where it was the first widely recognised production by Théâtre du Soleil in 1967, Moscow, Montreal and Zurich. The play follows the staff in a cafe's kitchen during the course of a busy morning. A film version appeared in 1961.

The play was subject to a major revival at the National Theatre's Olivier Theatre in 2011.
