My English Persian Kitchen is a one-woman play written by Irish-Palestinian playwright Hannah Khalil, inspired by the true story of Atoosa Sepehr. The play chronicles one woman's resettlement in England and then in Belfast after fleeing an abusive husband and her home country of Iran, as she turns to her mother's recipes for solace and strength while rebuilding her life. The production features the live cooking of traditional Persian ash-e-reshteh onstage, bringing audiences together through the communal nature of food. Directed by Chris White, this is the US premiere of the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe hit, presented by Solas Nua in association with Mosaic Theater Company.
