Growing up, mealtime meant storytime for Tardeo-based theatre practitioner Amey Mehta. The 33-year-old remembers nudging his grandmother, in her Goa home, for tales of chicken and bull fights to gulp down veggies. “My grandmother would tell me about ghosts in the village who might catch me if I didn’t eat!” Mehta laughs. These drama-laced memories pepper the theatre-maker’s new production, Food Stories: A Supper Theatre Play, which opens this weekend.
