YES CHEF
By Laurie Ogden
Only 18.7% of chefs in the UK are women.
There are more women CEO’s nationally than women Head Chefs.
The fish rots from the Head.
The ‘Me Too’ movement has not permeated the closed kitchen doors of our leading restaurants; cases of sexual harassment are covered up and many women chefs believe the general public do not care. Based on real interviews, ‘Yes Chef’ gives voice to these women. We readily consume TV shows showcasing abusive and toxic male chefs as ‘great artists’ (Hell’s Kitchen, anyone?!) It is time to platform these women’s stories.

Directed by Hetty Hodgson
Performed by Laurie Ogden & Tania Nwachukwu
Yes Chef was developed with The Roundhouse, Camden and was scheduled for the Last Word Festival 2020 CANCELLED as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
