My Favourite Cake
Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre
Thursday August 21,
Doors Open: 6.30 pm
Written and directed by Maryam Moghadam and Behtash Sanaeeha
Seventy-year-old Mahin has been living alone in Tehran since her husband died and her daughter left for Europe. One afternoon, tea with friends, leads her to break her solitary routine and revitalise her love of life.
As Mahin opens herself up to a new romance, what begins as a surprise encounter evolves into an unpredictable, unforgettable evening. A huge hit with critics and audiences alike at the 2024 Berlinale, My Favourite Cake is an endearing portrayal of a woman who gives herself a second chance at life and love - and is faced with unexpected consequences. Co-directors Sanaeeha and Moghadan deftly deliver social criticism with a story that is equally charming and touching
