Overview

Woven from the threads of a sweeping family epic, A Place in the Sultan’s Kitchen (or How to Make the Perfect One-Pot Chicken Curry) is charming, funny, and moving. Theatre-maker and singer-songwriter Joshua 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 through generations, Joshua 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 from his family's iconic Brisbane restaurant to his home in Wollongong. It’s a show for anyone who’s searched for where they belong in this world, lived between different cultures, or loved and lost family.              

A Place in the Sultan’s Kitchen is part of Brisbane Festival. Find out more here.
