The antifascist demonstration that took place in the working-class London neighborhood of East End in 1936 and the anti-communist uprising in Hungary in 1956 are the two historical events that frame this work.

"Chicken Soup with Barley" tells the story of a working-class family, the Kahns, in a rapidly changing world. The play shows how time erodes, slowly and relentlessly, everything in its path. The progressive loss of convictions, dreams, and political ideals, passivity, and negativity in the face of injustices are presented in parallel with the disintegration of the Kahn family, increasingly fragmented and divided.

Following the lives of seven characters who once fought together to build a better world, Wesker exposes different positions towards ideals and life, but at the same time, he creates an enormously exciting and touching family portrait towards which we feel an immediate identification and tenderness.
