Fish Eyes

Written by Anita Majumdar

Directed and Dramaturged by Gregory Prest

  • “Fish Eyes has all the right moves…a charming and clever solo show. Not to be missed . . . if you can get a ticket. “

    Culture Vulture Victoria

  • “With a single actor, Prest creates a sense of community on the stage. Sharply actualised guru and reluctant sishya are networked into a society of contrasts. Farce, caricature, spoof and slapstick are all part of the irreverent shots at our sacred cows.”

    The Hindu

  • “The phrase deliriously Canadian has never come into my mind before, but that's exactly what Anita Majumdar's Fish Eyes is"

Fish Eyes tells the story of the angst-ridden Meena, an exceptional Indian dancing teenager who would trade it all in just to be a "normal" high school girl. Luckily, Kalyani Aunty is still around to remind Meena of the importance of embracing her origins and talents. This comedic "east meets west" story celebrates the joy of youth and heritage.
