British playwright Arnold Wesker was renowned for his gritty, realistic, works. His first play, and most produced, The Kitchen, is set in the large commercial kitchen of a cafe, over one day. It follows the lives of waiters and cooks, as they struggle to hold onto their dreams in the face of relentless and often meaningless, work. Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios has chosen to reimagine this piece in New York. Raúl Briones stars as Pedro, a skilled cook with a fiery temper.

Travis Elborough is regarded as one of our great pop culture historians, and has published several quirky books, as well as many freelance articles. In Writers Journeys that Shaped Our World, he has curated 35 trips taken by writers as varied as the travels themselves.
