On the evening that we visit Sassy Spoon at Nariman Point, the diner has been converted into a theatre set for a private audience, most of whom were the office crowd. We start off with a sangria, included in our Rs 500 ticket, and occupy a seat on the front row.

The play we get to see is Living Doll, a one-act comedy, which tells the story of Kevin, whose mom has passed away suddenly, and who is forced to deal with Iris, an uninvited aunt trying to take over his life and home. An unopened, blow-up life-sized doll in his dad's suitcase makes a surprise entry into this plot. In between all of this, there is cottage cheese nuggets, aubergine bruschetta, crispy chicken and Sri Lankan poi to keep us satiated. The play was well-written and the actors were brilliant. We'd have preferred a better background score, but for a work-day week, this is better engagement than a chatty evening with a friend. Their next will be held at Candy and Green, Breach Candy, in April.
