The first major production for Blouse & Skirt! is Rice & Peas – a three course, three act immersive dining experience.
Grenada, 1948. Figgy and Edith enjoy a meal the evening before Figgy boards The Empire Windrush, both blissfully unaware they will not see each other for two years. When Edith arrives in London two years later, she carries within her a secret that threatens to tear apart their dreams of the Motherland.
With a menu designed by Jon Bentham, (Former head chef for Gary Rhodes) Rice & Peas allows audiences to share three West Indian courses with this couple over the course of their life and discover the heartache and courage it took so many to start a new life in Great Britain.

- Callaloo Soup with Spiced Creole Bread
- Breadfruit & Sweet Potato Balls
- Eggplant Curry with Quorn Dumplings, Crisp Roti Shell and Spiced Lime Pickle
