PLAYHOUSE EAST & ACTORS EAST PRESENT
Casserole
‘Can love exist between two people with diametrically opposing views on the afterlife?’
by James Alexandrou, Kate Kelly Flood and Dominic Morgan
…Kate’s had another panic attack. She’s convinced her dead mother is sending her signs and needs Dom’s help to understand what it all could mean—only to find Dom eating the biggest sign yet: the last casserole her mother ever made.
Preview Night: Dec 12th
Performances: Dec 13th, 14th, 18th, 19th, & 20th at 8 PM
The debut play by London’s innovative acting studio Actors East, Casserole has been developed over five years of improvisational workshops. It’s a blisteringly funny and emotionally raw one-act play exploring how grief causes people to hide from each other within a relationship.
Over the years, Actors East has grown from an acting studio in a Dalston basement into one of London’s most innovative new writing companies. Now, it has evolved into Playhouse East—East London’s newest theatre venue, dedicated to grassroots creativity and bold, experimental work.
