ALL Festival Tickets ONLY 5!Pepper & Honey
What does it mean to be "home"? That's the question Ana, a young Croatian woman, poses as she settles in the UK.Ana has been on a journey. Croatian born, she's arrived in the UK, determined to make it home. As she focuses on life in this new land, she is haunted by the voice of her Grandma - calling for her to stay true to her roots and yearning for Ana to come home. As Grandma bakes her traditional Croatian pepper biscuits (believed to bring a loved one back home), will this be enough to be reunited with her granddaughter? But what is "home" to Ana now?Written by Croatian playwright, Kristina Gavran, and performed by Croatian actor, Tina Hofman, Pepper & Honey is a poignant, subtle and timely play about the journey of change, cultural differences, and the confl ict between upholding the traditions of the "old country" and embracing those of the new.
Pepper & Honey is timed to perfection to deliver a perfect Croatian pepper biscuit, baked live with the help of the audience."A warm and gentle show, it captures the transient and precarious nature of life as an immigrant in the UK in the current climate" - The Stage (London, November 2019)
"Flows fantastically from one perspective to the next. A story of new beginnings, loss, and the sharing of cultures." - Reviews Hub (Wolverhampton, November 2019)
"A beautifully written story full of love, loss, an exploration of cultures and, most importantly, new beginnings. There was not a dry eye in the house by the end." - Reviews Hub (Derby, March 2019)Performed in Croatian, with English Translation
