"Krishnan's Dairy" & "Scraps"

Two Plays  – One Night
Timely stories of adaption, immigration, adjustment and sometimes isolation.

“Krishnan’s Dairy”, reportedly New Zealand’s favourite play, by NZ playwrights Jacob Rajan and Justin Lewis , has toured the globe justly garnering rave reviews.

This wonderful show centres on the travails of a migrant couple, Gobi and Zina Krishnan , who emigrated from India to New Zealand to start a family and run a milk bar. Juggling the demands of running a small business in a strange country, and the ordinary stresses of married life, beget endless frustrations – some comic, some not so. Woven through is the story of Shah Jahan who built the Taj Mahal as a mausoleum for his favourite wife.

“Scraps” – a new gem by local playwright, Joy Hinckley – Two philosophical Brisbane Ibises try to come to terms with history. You’ll never look at Bin Chickens ( maybe even history) in quite the same way ever again!
