Happy Birthday Sunita

Wed 17 Sep - 25 Oct 2014

Presented by Rifco Theatre Company and Watford Palace Theatre in association with Arena Theatre, Wolverhampton

The Johal family invites you to a surprise birthday party for Sunita!

Mum’s been cooking all day, and the family has just about made it on time. Everything is set, but Sunita is nowhere to be seen. As the curries simmer and rotis are smothered in full fat butter, years of family drama bubbling under the surface start to boil over. Today, four decades after arriving in this country, things are set to change…

Press Reviews

‘Harvey Virdi's script with its sprinkling of Punjabi rings true and Pravesh Kumar's direction echoes this... Its strength is that the story and its characters are universal.
