Brighton People's Theatre 'Born & Bread'

Part of Brighton Festival 2024

Amina has just moved to Brighton, with her daughter Darya. She’s doing everything she can to settle into her new home, but every time she looks out at the sea it doesn’t quite feel like home. That’s when she finds an invitation to the Community Kitchen, takes a deep-breath and ventures into a world filled with boisterous bakers, magical mixing bowls, and sweet, sour and salty stories.

Brighton People’s Theatre invites you to the Community Kitchen to enjoy a joyous, funny, hearty meal made from stories from across the city.

In 2022 Brighton People’s Theatre had conversations with over 100 people across the city about food, belonging and what it means to call Brighton ‘home’. From Bangkok to Bevendean, Whitehawk to Mexico City, the stories paint a picture of the City from a perspective never seen before.

A love-letter to the past, a challenge to the future, revealing who we are today.

‘This is what hope looks like.’ Tim Crouch

FOOTBALL MATCH AT AMEX STADIUM SUNDAY 19 MAY 2024

Due to a football match taking place at the AMEX stadium (Sunday 19 May, 4pm) please allow extra time for your journey, especially as roadworks are taking place along Lewes Road A270.

Trains and buses will be crowded. You may have to wait to board a train or a bus due to queues. Services will be most busy for 90 minutes prior to kick off, and after the match ends. For those driving, there is alternative car parking available on campus (Sports Centre Car Park is reserved for football parking): Head for the Jubilee Multi-Story (P7), Park Village (P8) or Lewes Court (P9).

Use the Knights Gate Road entrance (off the A27) to campus to access these car parks.
