Mrs Krishnan’s Party is set in the back room of the dairy where Zina is celebrating the harvest festival, Onam. We’re the invited guests and, if we’re lucky, Mrs Krishnan might even feed us.
Vanessa Kumar was too young to see Krishnan’s Dairy in 1997 when it debuted at Bats Theatre; she was just 7, and the theatre company behind it, Indian Ink, newer than she was.
Twenty years ago, Jacob Rajan became the first Indian actor to graduate from Toi Whakaari—NZ School of Drama and went on to take his passion for theatre to the next level.
Jacob Rajan and Justin Lewis’s much-celebrated, endearing love story The Pickle King first debuted fifteen years ago, and in that time it’s become a classic of contemporary New Zealand theatre.
The Pickle King is a well preserved, slickly directed, modern fairy tale that’s quick witted, tongue in cheek and really rather endearing all while lifting the lid on love, loss and diversity.
