RICE & PEAS EVALUATION

The first major production for Blouse & Skirt! is Rice & Peas – a three-course, three-act immersive theatrical dining experience set in Grenada, in 1948. Rice & Peas allows audiences to share three delicious West Indian courses with this couple over the course of their life, and in doing so discover the heartache and courage, it took so many to start a new life in Great Britain.
