Chicken Soup
T840591983
A play about community spirit, endurance, and the kind of friendships that last a lifetime. In 1984, three friends opened a soup kitchen in South Yorkshire. Its purpose was to feed the mining families struggling to make ends meet during the strikes. Three decades later, the UK is as divided as ever, and teetering on the cusp of a referendum that could impact the stability of the entire European Union.
Chicken Soup follows the lives of five working class women as they navigate the complexities of life and the ever-changing politics of their home country. It is a story that reveals how the actions of the past continue to influence the present. A well-rounded and honest portrayal of family and friendship, with a down-to-earth dash of northern charm and female grit.
