MRS. KRISHNAN'S PARTY
January 15 - February 6 2027
By Jacob Rajan and Justin Lewis Directed by Justin Lewis Indian Ink Theatre Company, New Zealand
Step into the colourful back room of Mrs. Krishnan’s store, where food simmers, music flows and Mrs. Krishnan is throwing a party like no other. She eagerly awaits her son’s return from school to complete the Onam celebration but plans quickly take an unexpected turn, and suddenly, we’re all part of the festivities! Experience this immersive theatre adventure as the Rice Theatre transforms into the back room of a neighbourhood corner store, alive with cooking, spontaneous dancing, and tender moments that capture the joys and challenges of the immigrant experience. It’s a lively celebration of family, food, and community where no two nights are the same. The New Zealand Herald hails it as “a joyful, highly theatrical celebration.”
