Review:
"Wesker’s strength is his ear for the cadences of ordinary life and a political passion for those who lead it... with wit and energy it keeps you gasping." – The Times
"Wesker presents us with a fascinating microcosm of the melting-pot of post-war London... [and] the tyranny of the working world" – Evening Standard
"At his best [Wesker] is a dramatist of heart and humanity" – Daily Telegraph
"Anyone who has worked in a restaurant knows the sort of staff they can attract: drinkers, fighters, slackers, sex maniacs. That is the brilliance of Sir Arnold Wesker’s play" – Daily Mail
"This National revival confirms its exhilarating theatrical cosmopolitanism as well as its historical poignancy and significance." – Independent
"A masterpiece of modern realism" – Sunday Telegraph
"The play’s kitchen-sink realism is winning" – Independent on Sunday
"The Kitchen – like the plays of August Wilson – is that now lamentably unusual thing, a collective affair." – Sunday Times
"Wesker is fully alert to the quiet pockets of humanity among the mechanising forces of cheap mass labour" – Metro
"A fascinating portrait of post-war, pre-pill Britain’s working class... Look behind the counter at McDonald’s 50 years on and, but for the hairnets and the fags, little has changed." – Mail on Sunday
