DESCRIPTION:Apr 9-10\, 2025\nWith Hedda Gabler in turn-of-the-century Krist
 iana (now Oslo)\, it’s her late father the general’s dueling pistols t
 hat keep the audience on tenterhooks. With Kerala-born Mrs. Krishnan at he
 r convenience store in present-day New Zealand\, it’s the tin where she 
 keeps the ashes of her late husband. To the widow’s surprise and initial
  dismay\, her 20-something lodger and dogsbody James has invited the publi
 c into her storeroom to celebrate the Hindu harvest festival Onam\, descri
 bed as “like Christmas and Easter and Diwali all rolled into one.” The
  “guests” at Mrs. Krishnan’s Party get to slice onions and so on as 
 the hostess wrassles up a fragrant dhal of stewed lentils—and can sample
  it when the show is over. The script\, by Jacob Rajan and Justin Lewis\, 
 is crafted with skill\, expertly conveying their ethos of “the serious l
 augh\,” whereby wisdom of the ages lands with zany zest. The Auckland-ba
 sed theater company Indian Ink\, which tours not only Aotearoa (as the Mao
 ri call their homeland) but also the wide world beyond\, was barnstorming 
 in the U.S. when the pandemic shut them down\, Happily\, they’re back no
 w\, with the original cast intact. Kalyani Nagarajan plays Mrs. Krishnan\,
  still homesick for the beloved India she never expects to see again. Just
 in Te Honihana Pokaihau Rogers is James\, who is foundering at university 
 but catching on as a fizzy DJ at parties. Not so long ago\, Nagarajan and 
 Rogers were classmates in drama school—which could account for their unc
 anny rapport\, also with spectators willing to play along.
