Rifco Theatre Company in association with Watford Palace Theatre present
Happy Birthday Sunita
by Harvey Virdi
The party comes to Hornchurch 23 – 27 May
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, butter-free roti and skeletons in the cupboard aren’t enough to stop them from 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.
Written by Hollyoaks star Harvey Virdi and directed by Pravesh Kumar MBE, founder and artistic director of Rifco Theatre Company, (Britain’s Got Bhangra, The Deranged Marriage).
