Get Ready for The Gritty, Female-driven Mob Drama ‘The Kitchen’ in Theaters August 9
New York City, 1978. The 20 blocks of pawnshops, porn palaces and dive bars between8th Avenue and the Hudson River owned by the Irish mafia and known as Hell’s Kitchen wasnever the easiest place to live. Or the safest. But for mob wives Kathy, Ruby and Claire–played by Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss–things are about to take a radical, dramatic turn. When their husbands are sent to prison by the FBI the women take business into their own hands, running the rackets and taking out the competition…literally.
