A more unusual recommendation: a theater play by Arnold Wesker, who might provoke some thoughts to those working in an international place.
It was put in scene also recently, in 2011 by London National Theater also broadcasted live in several cinemas across the world.
It is a day in the kitchen of a London restaurant in the 50s where the employees come from all the corners of Europe. The tension raises as rush-hours approach and in between the polyglot stuff shares their hopes and dreams.
Even though restaurants and international food are back in fashion (as they were in the 50s), the play is not about food. It is more about about how we define ourselves by the work we do and, in this high speed live, we forget who we are. In the kitchen French, English, Jewish and German persons work together and stress together.
