…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.
‘Can love exist between two people with diametrically opposing views on the afterlife?’
The first play by innovative London acting studio Actors East, developed over 5 years of improvisational workshops, Casserole is a blisteringly funny and emotionally raw one-act play that looks at how grief causes people to hide from each other within a relationship.
Actors East has grown from an acting studio in a basement in Dalston to become one of London’s most innovative new writing companies. By enabling actors, writers and directors to collaborate freely without the friction of cost, Actors East has become the forefront of grassroots theatre.
