Traditions under threat from changing attitudes and new generations who have different expectations, is one of the ideas being investigated in a new play being presented by Auckland's Prayas Theatre company.
In Dhaba on Devon Avenue a multi generational Indian family who run a restaurant serving traditional Sindhi food, are facing bankruptucy if something doesn't change.
But there's strong resistance from the matriarch to meddling with the cuisine.
Dhaba on Devon Avenue was written by American Madhuri Shekar and the setting translocated from Chicago to Wellington.
Lynn Freeman is joined by writer and director Sananda Chatterjee and actor founding member of Prayas, Amit Ohdedar.
