“Director Neel Banerjee, makes good use of a minimal set in KTX’s traverse theatre. He is able to capture the changing times effectively for both sides of the audience through 5 simple boxes and has ensured the emotional impact is maintained.”
“The range of Indian accents on the stage – varying in region, dialect and thickness – encapsulates the universality of the playwright’s chosen themes, not just to the incredibly rich subtext that belongs to the Indian nationality, but also to the uniqueness of every migration story; no two are ever the same.”
“This history, or one like it, is shared by so many Australians. We’re seduced by the piece’s mundanity, and if that sounds like a bad thing, I’d assert the world would gain enormously from learning to listen in quiet to the quiet.”
“I loved the moments when the actors were delivering their lines while looking at the audience, trying to break the fourth wall, and when they were poking fun at both Australian and Indian culture.”
