THE
COCKPIT
THEATRE OF IDEAS
London, on the cusp of war. Valchera’s is more than a restaurant. It transforms the lives of those who step inside... At a lavish table two women sit in disheveled wedding gowns. Iride, a migrant from the depths of the Swiss Alps plunges into the life of Tina, a headstrong restaurateur born to Swiss-Italian parents. We hear a man pleading from inside a lobster cage. The room is heavy with decisions, betrayals, and the looming threat of war. Will they let him live, or is the past too heavy to forgive? As water boils and potatoes are sliced, burdens of the past are peeled away. Time is running out. A decision must be made. What would you give up for a new life?
