Summary
The kitchen is the beating heart of every home—but for one woman summoned to an empty house, it’s also the portal to a complicated past. Forced to confront her family’s dark history or risk perpetuating it for generations to come, the woman sets out to do what her mother and grandmother before her never could. Written and performed by Olivier Award nominee Cush Jumbo (The River) and directed by Tony Award® nominee Phyllida Lloyd (The Iron Lady), Gilly Gilly is a haunting and powerful new play that explores the joys and complexities that exist between parents and children—and asks just how many secrets one kitchen can hold.

Such a powerful story and production. Heart rendering, emotional, strong and definitely thought provoking. Thank you to Cush for sharing her story.

Powerful & very different.
Possibly triggering for some, but the theme & overall performance was excellent.
Very immersive, powerful & oddly satisfying.

Potentially trauma triggering but well performed
This story features sexual trauma and general trauma things. Was difficult to listen to as someone who has been through trauma so just be aware. It was a good story and really well presented. Just hard.

Excellent!
Very relatable and brilliantly performed. Thank you Cush for writing this piece and bringing it to the public space. Inter generational trauma is a real but hidden issue. Family constellation work can help to shed those layers of unseen pain. We can break those patterns and free our children and the next 7 generations from the burden we carry in our bodies. This work is a testament to that. Thank you so much. Xxx
