The Art House Presents
A Merrigong Theatre Company production 
A Place in the Sultan's Kitchen
(or How to Make the Perfect One-Pot Chicken Curry) 
by Joshua Hinton

While attempting to cook his grandmother’s curry live on stage, Josh Hinton weaves together childhood memories and family folklore, exploring how the stories we tell and the memories we keep shape us all.

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 Josh Hinton fills the theatre with music, memories, and exotic smells as he attempts to make his grandmother’s chicken curry, live on stage.

As you exit the theatre you will be greeted with a serving of the dish to complete your immersion in Josh's story!

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, to his home in 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.
