One-woman show PICKLE opens at London’s Park Theatre in May

Darkly comic one-woman show, Pickle will form part of the Come What May Festival at the Park Theatre from 2-7 May.

The Come What May Festival is a new festival presenting 16 shows over four weeks (2 – 28 May). Created in response to the cancellation of VAULT Festival 2022, it offers space to over 50 practitioners from a variety of backgrounds and at all stages of their careers.

This new 60-minute play, written and performed by Deli Segal, brings a band of Jewish women together as an authentic creative team to explore what it means to be a young Jewish woman in London today.

It tells the story of Ari: Jewish, still living at home with her parents in North-West London and struggling through life in a secular world. But can she get the voice of Jewish guilt out of her head?

Writer and star of Pickle, Deli Segal, said: “Pickle is all about one woman’s experience of reconciling belief and tradition with change. I wanted to tell a story that explores being in the middle of both worlds and celebrates the parts that fit together, and those that don’t. The vibrancy, the spirit, the richness of culture, the humour of Jewish life - those things often get lost in the conversation. Pickle brings them all to the stage.”

Tickets for Pickle are on sale now via the Park Theatre here.
