The Reckoning: Dill and Sour Cream
Join us round the kitchen table with acclaimed Ukrainian chef Olia Hercules and Dash’s Artistic Director Josephine Burton as they weave together cooking and storytelling in our latest production.
Dash’s new production, The Reckoning, is a vivid and powerful new play about war, survival and the fragile trust between those who uncover the truth and those who must live with it.
Co-writers Anastasiia Kosodii and Josephine Burton created the play from The Reckoning Project’s verified archive of witness testimonies of the Russian war in Ukraine. Find out why Olia’s insights and beautiful cooking is so vital to our staging of these experiences.
