MY ENGLISH PERSIAN KITCHEN announces triumphant London return this Autumn

Hannah Khalil's play will return to the Soho Theatre this Autumn, following sold-out and acclaimed runs in London and at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show will also embark on a short tour to Bristol, Dublin and Belfast after it plays in London.

Atoosa Sepehr comments: “I didn’t realise how much I love cooking and how much I love food until I had to leave my country. Smell and taste can simply transport you to a different time and place. An important theme in the play for me is the idea that even in our lowest moments life sometimes offers a way out, an opportunity to learn and grow and ultimately to redefine who we are as individuals. Culture truly has no borders and when we migrate to a new country, we take with us aspects of our homeland that can contribute to a wonderfully rich multi-cultural society. I hope audiences will now more than ever in these unsettling times, both in my adopted countries of the UK and also Ireland, find this story an uplifting and empowering one.”

My English Persian Kitchen follows one woman's quest to start again. At the heart of this production is a story about community, identity and belonging.

Hailed by The Quintessential Review as "utterly sensational", My English Persian Kitchen will play at the Soho Theatre from 30 September to 25 October 2025.
