The Kitchen: Live in HD Broadcast at UCLA’s James Bridges Theater 10/30

The Kitchen: Live in HD is set to be broadcast at UCLA's James Bridges Theater on October 30th.

The Kitchen: Live in HD - 1950s London. In the kitchen of an enormous West End restaurant, the orders are piling up: a post-war feast of soup, fish, cutlets, omelets and fruit flans. Thrown together by their work, chefs, waitresses and porters from across Europe - English, Irish, German, Jewish - argue and flirt as they race to keep up. Peter, a high-spirited young cook, seems to thrive on the pressure. In between preparing dishes, he manages to strike up an affair with married waitress Monique, the whole time dreaming of a better life. But in the all-consuming clamor of the kitchen, nothing is far from the brink of collapse. Arnold Wesker's The Kitchen, featuring a cast of 31, was filmed live at the National's Olivier Theatre and is the second in the current series of National Theatre LIVE broadcasts to hundreds of cinemas and performing arts venues around the world. Directed by NT Associate Bijan Sheibani, whose staging 'brilliantly breaks the bonds of naturalistic drama' (Daily Telegraph). The state-of-the-Art James Bridges Theater is the main screening venue of the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, an elegant, comfortable setting that enhances media presentations in a wide variety of film and video formats. Presented by L.A. Theatre Works and The James Bridges Theater.
