Heartwarming family drama completes September programme

You may recall we had various performance rights issues earlier in the year, which meant that the call went out for a new Director and submission.

 

Theatre Committee is pleased to announce that this situation has been resolved with the happy addition of The Kitchen Sink by Tom Wells, to be directed by David Chappell.

 

The play is described as an irresistibly funny and tender play about big dreams and small changes.

 

Amid the dreaming, the dramas and the dirty dishes, something has to give. But will it be Kath or the kitchen sink?

 

Things aren’t going to plan for one family in Withernsea, Yorkshire. Pieces are falling off Martin’s milk float as quickly as he’s losing customers and something’s up with Kath’s kitchen sink. Billy is pinning his hopes of a place at art college on a revealing portrait of Dolly Parton, whilst Sophie’s dreams of becoming a ju-jitsu teacher might be disappearing down the plughole.

I was drawn to this play for its authentic characters and themes of identity, ambition and strength. It is filled with moments of support, conflict, and love, which I believe are relatable to everyone.

David Chappell
Director
