“I coached her to cook – I did… I was the cooker – she was the cookless – I was the cooker who coached the cookless… I… coached her to (cook)… She was a bad learner.”

You’re invited into a kitchen in a South African township where a fragrant meal is being prepared.
As they cook, three generations of a close-knit family banter, share stories and food. Both urgent and exuberant, debbie tucker green’s formally daring play tackles what’s transmitted and lost through generations of a family—and a nation.

by debbie tucker green
directed by Leah C. Gardiner

The show features a 12-person choir led by Bongi Duma (Broadway’s The Lion King).

Reviews

  •  "It's almost as if Obie-award-winning director Leah C. Gardiner inhaled each text; her understanding of green's project feeds Gardiner creatively so that she is able to feed us...the feeling it imparts lasts for a long time after you've left the theater" 

    ---- The New Yorker

  • "reverberates in your mind and heart long afterward, like the taste of a great meal that you savor for days...a vital ingredient is the music performed with marvelous exuberance by a 13-member choir"
