or How To Make the Perfect One-Pot Chicken Curry
By Joshua Hinton
We are made of the stories we are told, and the stories we choose to tell
After wowing audiences in its MERRIGONGX debut in 2024, A Place in the Sultan’s Kitchen (or How to Cook the Perfect One-Pot Chicken Curry), returns, but this time to the Merrigong mainstage season.
Charming, funny and moving, it’s a show woven from the threads of a sweeping family epic. Local 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.
