Synopsis: | Writer and performer Rani Moorthy just happens to be a fantastic cook, and she doesn't like to keep her talent to herself - in this show she employs her culinary skills live on stage, and from vengeful Trinidadian duck curry to life-saving Malaysian Laksa, shares with the audience what she cooks. Behind every curry lies a story, and in every cook there lies a character. Introduced by the tastefully flamboyant proprietor of the Hindustani Coffee House Mrs Dimple Melwani (part Ab Fab Edina and part Hello! celebrity), five intriguing cooks share intimate stories, each focusing on their own special sauce. Curry Tales combines razor-sharp observation with acute characterisation in a heady mix of flavours to please the most discerning palate. | |||||

Synopsis: | Being dragged by her mother back to the family village thousands of miles away is no fun for 13-year-old Nasreen. In the monsoon rain, not being able to text friends, she little expects what will be uncovered on her first visit. But with the mystical power of henna, a secret garden of buried dreams, and more than a little help from the wagging tongues of Aunties, Grandparents and neighbours, she is about to discover some unexpected truths about her mother. Based on real stories from Muslim women, this is an evocative and enchanting story of homecoming, adventure, fear and joy for a girl and her mother. Skipping back and forth across time and between lives lived across two cultures; four actresses create a bustling, colourful world bursting with music, dance and family celebration. | |||||

Synopsis: | 'Too Close To Home' begins at a gentle Chekhovian pace, even if the issues it deals with are ultimately explosive. The setting's a Muslim home, Ramadan Radio is playing, and Kalida is worrying because her husband's refusing to take much-needed pills that he claims will violate his fast. At first their exchanges don't feel like the kind of banter you'd pay to hear: the jokes aren't particularly funny, and their preoccupations unengaging. But then the charm of Rani Moorthy's portrait of a family becomes clear: by refusing to heighten their dialogue, she makes them seem Why did the 7/7 bombers, young Britons ofAsian descent who enjoyed their football and their cricket and mostly seemed ordinary enough to their families, decide to destroy themselves and 50 others in the name of Islam? That's a question that still troubles everybody, not least Rani Moorthy. | |||||
