The Kitchen Witches is written by Caroline Smith and directed by Denise Gismondi.
Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle are two “mature” cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for 30 years, ever since Larry Biddle dated one and married the other. When circumstances put them together on a TV show called The Kitchen Witches, the insults are flung harder than the food. Dolly’s long-suffering TV-producer son, Stephen, tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly’s dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel’s, it is a losing battle, and the show becomes a ratings smash as Dolly and Isobel top Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer.
Besides the two 50-ish kitchen witches, the play has other characters – Stephen the long-suffering producer and son to Dolly is in his early to mid-30s. A silent role, with lots of stage time, is available for a young person who can play mid- to late teens.
