About the production
In wartime Ireland, an Irish family’s kitchen becomes the crossroads for a daughter home from Italy, a British officer and an American soldier, as the war presses in on a household of secrets.
“Senior's cinematic staging is always smart and sometimes breathtaking, and her more-than-capable actors bring wit and pathos to the stage in equal measure.”
— Time Out Chicago, Kris Vire
“...it is emotional turmoil that is served up in Dolly West's Kitchen, playwright Frank McGuinness' simultaneously black Irish and deeply Chekhovian drama, now in director Kimberly Senior's altogether sterling production at TimeLine Theatre.”
— Chicago Sun Times, Hedy Weiss
