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 wipe out a local Community Centre, 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.

“It’s a story about Liverpool as a whole, how it was built, where it is now, and about the communities that make up the city. I think it feels very ‘Everyman’ in that it asks big questions but there are also lots of laughs, silliness and humour. I’m hoping that stories like Takeaway that are rooted in this place, can also tell a national tale.” - Nathan Powell
