ABOUT TAKEAWAY
A portion of fun and a big plate of chaos.
Hyltons Caribbean takeaway is a much-loved restaurant at the heart of Liverpool 8. Built by Carol and her late husband into a bustling hub with a mouth-watering menu, it serves great food with a huge side-order of love. But in a world of delivery apps, street food markets and gourmet curry goat, her family are divided about what their future should hold.
The Liverpool they live in is changing too. With a block of luxury apartments about to be built over a local field, anger’s rising and things are getting spicy.
Takeaway is a big bowl of fun, heartbreak and chaos dished up by our creative director, Nathan Powell. Packed with big laughs, family tensions and delicious food, this is a tasty Everyman treat made for our stage, our city, our people – the perfect recipe for everyone who loves a delicious night out.
