This trilogy of plays is the most significant body of work in recent New Zealand theatre. Krishnan's Dairy Gobi and Zina Krishnan have come to New Zealand in search of a better life. They work hard and keep their dreams stacked on the shelves of their struggling business. Two New Zealand cliches about Indians - the Taj Mahal and the corner dairy - are fused into an enchanting love story. The Candlestickmaker A young New Zealand Indian student, Lonely Planet in hand, sets off to discover India and ends up discovering the mysteries of the universe. A play about black holes and the formula for happiness. The Pickle King The Empire Hotel is as faded as the dreams of the piano player who haunts the lobby. Jojo, a heart surgeon and recent arrival from India, is a night porter at the hotel. Ammachy runs the Empire with an iron fist and has one big problem: her niece will not be married. Sasha knows she must not marry because she is cursed - everything she loves dies.
