Enjoyed the Great British Bake Off? Then you will love this show!We want to tackle your senses and your imagination. Pepper and Honey is a new play about two women questioning the meaning of home. The play is timed to perfection in order to deliver a perfect Croatian pepper biscuit, baked live in front of and with the help of the audience.
So, what is “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 national identity 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 a Croatian playwright and performed by a Croatian actor, Pepper & Honey is a poignant, subtle and timely play about the journey of change, cultural differences, trying not to feel like a foreigner in your adopted country, and the conflict between upholding the traditions of the “old country” and embracing those of the new.

Audience quotes…
“This incredibly poignant play presents a perspective that many would not have given thought to.”
“Tina Hofman effortlessly brings the necessary dynamism and movement to her roles… The amount of pure unfiltered emotion she displays is incredible.”
“A beautifully written story which flows fantastically from one perspective to the next. A story of new beginnings, loss, and the sharing of cultures.”
