A journey that begins at a kitchen table plunges into a sprawling family history and a fitting tribute to a much-loved matriarch.In 1948, Angela left Malta. Having gathered up five children, she sailed out, leaving poverty and war behind. Her destination: Australia.Told simply and truthfully, Angela’s Kitchen is a revealing and evocative piece of autobiographical theatre from Paul Capsis. By turns hilarious and deeply moving, the life of one of our most versatile performers and the love that inspired him unfolds with a stirring grace.Paul’s supporting cast is the wealth of experience that an enormous family gave him, its dozens of members as complex and flawed as any creation of literature. Drenching it all is Angela’s love, the grandmother whose strength and fragility will resonate like the finest of arias, and whose journey came to echo the voyage of the twentieth century in miniature. A life lived in a kitchen, but one which reaches far beyond.
