A Place in the Sultan’s Kitchen
(or How to Make the Perfect One-Pot Chicken Curry)
by Joshua Hinton
Fri 29 Aug, 8pm
Charming, funny and moving, A Place in the Sultan’s Kitchen (or How to Make the Perfect One-Pot Chicken Curry) is woven from the threads of a sweeping family epic. Theatre-maker and singer-songwriter Josh Hinton fills the theatre with music, memories, and exotic smells as he attempts to make his grandmother’s chicken curry, live on stage.
Sharing childhood memories and family folklore passed down the generations, Josh transports the audience from the backstreets of Sri Lanka to a bustling city in India, from a schoolyard in Iran to a South African farm, and finally to Wollongong. It’s a show for anyone who’s searched for where they belong in this world, who’s lived between different cultures, or who has loved and lost family.
Sensory storytelling takes centrestage with the flavours of memory and identity, in this compelling work of homegrown theatre with a universal palette.
