The Cafe

by Ben Aitken

A political comedy about austerity that puts the Coalition Government in the Kitchen.

A struggling café is forced to make cuts. A waiter tries to organise a strike. Will he convince a Turk, a Pole, and a trialling waitress that striking is the way forward?

The Café was performed as a site specific piece is a real café first at the Brighton Fringe then in London in association with the Old Red Lion Theatre.

‘Bitter-sweet social observation… the direction matches the sparkle of the script.’ The Stage
