A Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch production
The Kitchen Sink
by Tom Wells
An irresistibly funny and tender play
Things aren’t going to plan for one Yorkshire family.
Martin’s milk float is falling apart and something’s up with Kath’s sink. Billy’s trying to get into art school with a portrait of Dolly Parton. Sophie’s dreaming of her black belt whilst Pete, a local plumber, is quietly falling in love.
Amidst the dramas and the dirty dishes, something has to give…
This 10th-anniversary new production of Tom Wells’ award-winning gem of a play is an affectionate and sweet portrait of working-class family life.
‘This production impeccably blends playful comedy performances with grounded, tender moments of heartfelt connection… you will leave the theatre with a touched heart and a lot to laugh about’ The Reviews Hub
‘Directed by Caroline Leslie with great attention to all the nuances in the script. Not a moment is missed. Many funny lines register with great laughs from the audience. She and her cast have created a very real sense of warmth and togetherness on Zoe Hurwitz’s wide, yet cluttered (in the best way) set’ Southend Theatre Scene
‘It’s a hearty and worthwhile production’ London Theatre 1
‘This accomplished cast do justice to a play that’s overflowing with laughs and bursting with heart’ Theatre Weekly
‘The play was thoroughly enjoyable and happily for all ended on a note of very much needed hope. Not to mention love’ London Born and Bred
