The Wesker Trilogy is a series of plays written by playwright Arnold Wesker in the 1950s. The Trilogy consists of Chicken Soup with Barley (1958), Roots (1959), and I'm Talking About Jerusalem (1960). The Wesker Trilogy explores family and class, identifies themes and significantly contributes to British theatre history. "Chicken Soup with Barley" is set in 1936 and tells the story of a Jewish family in the East End of London. The story follows the family, particularly the father, Jacob, as they struggle to come to terms with the effects of the Great Depression and the rise of fascism and their struggles to maintain their identity as Jews in a rapidly changing world. "Roots", also by Wesker, is a prequel to "Chicken Soup with Barley", set in 1931 and focusing on the same family. In "I'm Talking About Jerusalem," Ronnie discovers that even when they are supported by tireless work, lofty ambitions do not necessarily convert into satisfying, excellent outcomes. He consequently has to face severe disappointment. The impact that young Wesker's work had on the British theatrical scene in the middle of the 20th century is helpfully brought to memory by this book. Its repercussions are still being felt today. The three plays together make up what is known as the Wesker Trilogy.
