Now Mrs Krishnan has returned as indomitable and endearing as ever in the hands of writers Rajan and Justin Lewis and the India Ink Theatre Company.
Remarkable, welcoming and comforting are a few words that easily spring to mind when describing the sequel to the well-received Krishnan’s Dairy
At first blush Mrs Krishnan’s Party seems to have eschewed its founding principle, of “opening mouths with laughter in order to slip something serious in”.
Ultimately, Mrs Krishan’s Party is a wonderful, wholly engaging work. If you want to escape your life for 75 minutes, whether you’ve seen Krishnan’s Dairy or not, you must see this play.
“What does happiness look like then?” “I don’t know, but it doesn’t look like this!”
Indian Ink Theatre Company are renowned for their innovative and visual storytelling with Mrs Krishnan’s Party delivering just that and more.
Namaste, Indian Ink, “I bow to the divine in you.”
Twenty years after Indian Ink burst on to the New Zealand theatre scene with the play Krishnan’s Dairy …
When you arrive at Mrs Krishnan’s, make sure you don’t fiddle with the stock.
The plot is as delicious as the smells which begin to pervade the space as Mrs Krishnan’s curry is cooking in front of us.
An Indian tale of epic proportions is told through the enthusiasm and brilliance of a single actor, leaving the audience in hysterics of laughter one minute and colossal heartache the next.
When a scene involving melons and murder plays out, I get a strong sense of déjà vu … Turns out it’s an actual memory of a scene from Indian Ink’s The Dentist’s Chair which premiered a decade ago.
