Fringe hit Charandas Chor coming to Trinity Arts

Never eat from a golden plate, never sit on a throne and never tell a lie, Charandas Chor is an award-winning light-hearted comedy based on a traditional Indian folk tale.

The show is the story of an honest thief.

In return for a safe haven from the police, Charandas makes a set of bizarre promises to a holy man.

He agrees eagerly, unaware that a string of unlikely events will come to pass, testing his integrity and endangering his life.

Charandas exposes corruption and hypocrisy in the political and social elite, proving that despite being a thief, he is a more honourable man than those around him.

This is a joyful, engaging and energetic play with a universal appeal.

Striking a balance between cultures, this production draws influences from Indian costume and theatrical style, whilst integrating traditional folk music from Lincolnshire, with a cast of European performers.

It is a truly multicultural experience.

Written by Habib Tanvir and co-directed by Arya Madhaven, Charandas Chor was a big hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, earning itself the Fringe First award.

It comes to Trinity Arts Centre as part of the Lincolnshire Diversity in the Arts: Research and Development project by University of Lincoln, and supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

The show is at Trinity Arts Centre tomorrow night (Friday) at 7.30pm.
