People always think a woman who thinks for herself, who speaks her mind is dangerous

So I didn’t talk about my dreams or what was in my heart

And I was scared

Scared to let you follow your dreams

I didn’t know how to

But keeping quiet didn’t make my life better

It just made it lonely

The Johals are celebrating Sunita’s birthday in Mum’s new kitchen, and you’re invited to the surprise party

It’s not just the dhal that’s bubbling under the surface – with decades of unfinished business, everyone’s true selves start to burst out when they least expect it

And it’s up to the family to pick each other back up and celebrate themselves for who they truly are

Unexpected guests, butter­free roti and skeletons in the cupboard aren’t enough to stop them busting out some classic Punjabi shapes in the kitchen!

Join the Johal family for a wild ride that will leave you laughing, crying, and talking all the way home

Put on your birthday party finery and get ready for a samosa saga

REVIEWS

"Exploring themes of traditional gender roles, conformity, ageism and independence, the play has all the drama, emotion and surprises of a family at breaking point" ~ London Theatre Reviews
