| Description |
'Guru of Chai,' a 70 minute long English play, presented by Indian Ink, an acclaimed theatre company from New Zealand, will be staged at K.T. Muhammed Regional Theatre, Thrissur on February 18, 2014.
The play has won several international awards including the Fringe First and Best Actor at Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
'The contradictions of modern India with its iPhones and ancient gods come alive in this outrageously funny and heartbreakingly beautiful romantic thriller. A poor chaiwallah (tea seller), has his life changed forever when a young girl is abandoned at a busy railway station and brings the place to a standstil with the beauty of her singing." The play is being brought to India by Theatre Konnekt |
