A geography lesson, one about changing political realities, and a cookery lesson and tasting, Rani Moorthy's one-woman show is great fun as it transports the audience around the globe in search of the most piquant curries and the spiciest stories. Beginning and ending in the Hindustani Coffee House, run by a Dehli socialite and her transvestite, manic-depressive Kashmiri cook, Curry Tales tickles the taste buds with its mix of low comedy, high tragedy and stories of egg curry whipped up by an infertile woman to a carefully prepared dish of revenge. "The art is knowing how much bitterness your curry can take." The setting - a room above an Indian restaurant - adds to the proceedings, as does Moorthy's performance and the way she teases the audience, involving them in the preparations and allowing them to sample the final dishes. It is a pity, though, that time constraints mean dishes are assembled rather than prepared. Still, fast food is better than no food, and there is enough nourishment in these stories to make you leave the restaurant feeling satisfied.
