Arts Club Revue Stage: My Granny the Goldfish

Anosh Irani first delighted Vancouver audiences with his hit show "The Matka King."  It showed us a side of Mumbai (Bombay) we had only heard about.  
Irani returns with another funny, insightful and "Hallmark moment" slice of life introduction to a remarkable family.  There's a hypochondriac son (Shaker Paleja), taking up residence in a Vancouver hospital; his whiskey-swilling "Granny" (Balinder Johal) who arrives from Bombay armed only with a whiskey bottle and the desire to "save" her grandson.  Mix in a couple of very dysfunctional parents, played by Veena Sood and David Adams and you have the ingredients for a very entertaining evening of theatre. 
The Revue Stage has been finely reworked into an intimate theatre space, and is sure to be home to dozens upon dozens of new Arts Club hits down the years. Congratulations to Bill Millerd and his wonderful organization for expanding our theatrical horizons once more.
