An Indian Abroad at The Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol
"Stifled by life in middle-class India, Krishnan is desperate to see more of the world. He takes a year out from his studies to visit the exotic island of Great Britain to learn about life and who he is. What does Krishnan's journey teach him about the world? What might he learn about himself? And what happens when he falls in love with one of the natives?"
The new show, An Indian Abroad, is taking the independent theatre world by storm. Hari Ramakrishnan aka Pariah Khan, is the mastermind writer, producer and performer behind the hilarious one-man show, which comes to the Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol from 31st October to 1st November 2018.
The British Indian performer tales the story of Krishnan, a middle class Indian native who journeys to Great Britain in seek of personal enlightenment. We in Britain are all-too-familiar with the trend of young people journeying to ‘find themselves’ in a land far, far away… Khan’s reversal of and new perspective on this social trope makes for a refreshing, hilarious and totally original show.
Critics are naming it “perfectly paced, charming and beautifully written” (Ruth Kapadia Arts Council England), telling that Khan is a “generous and hilarious writer and performer with a keen eye for detail and impeccable comic timing.” (Nikesh Shukla, Editor of The Good Immigrant).
