Guru of Chai
Te Raukura ki Kāpiti, Coastlands Theatre, Paraparaumu, Kapiti Coast
SAT 06 JUL 7:00 P.M. - 8:30 P.M.
Guru of Chai has been described as a work of genius. The contradictions of modern India, with its iPhones and ancient gods, come alive in this much-loved play from one of New Zealand’s finest performers. A poor chai-wallah (tea-seller) has his life changed forever when a young girl is abandoned at a busy railway station and brings the place to a standstill with the beauty of her singing. Jacob Rajan stars as a buck-toothed Guru, dispensing dubious spiritual wisdom while channelling 17 perfectly realised characters in this gripping romantic thriller. Outrageously funny and heartbreakingly beautiful, with a killer live sound track, this is not to be missed. “Genius” – Stuff “Flawless” – Sydney Morning Herald “Nothing short of genius” - Time Out Singapore “Sheer brilliance… a joy to behold” - NZ Listener Winner: BEST ACTOR BEST COMPOSER BEST PLAY
