The Royal Court Theatre has extended Arnold Wesker’s Chicken Soup with Barley. The Dominic Cooke-directed production will now play through July 16.

The play, the first in a trilogy that also includes Roots and I’m Talking about Jerusalem, focuses on Sarah Khan, an East End Jewish mother over the course of three decades as she handles both world events and the changes taking place within her home.

The company features Samantha Spiro, Jenna Augen, Steve Furst, Rebecca Gethings, Joel Gillman, Ilan Goodman, Harry Peacock, Tom Rosenthal, Danny Webb and Alexis Zegerman.

The creative team includes Ultz (production design), Charles Balfour (lighting design), Gareth Fry (sound design), and Gary Yershon (original music).
