By the makers of Krishnan's Dairy, Indian Ink Theatre Company brings their new play 'The Guru of Chai' to Theatre Royal.

A poor chaiwallah’s (tea seller) life is 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. An honest young policeman falls hopelessly in love but is rejected in favour of a disreputable poet. The contradictions of modern India with its iphones and ancient gods form the backdrop to this story about the dangers of keeping your soul locked in a cage.

Award winning actor Jacob Rajan combines with musician David Ward to bring this intimate epic to life . Outrageously funny and heartbreakingly beautiful, the “Guru's magical elements all add up to a very captivating, moving piece of theatre." Kate Ward Smythe, Theatreview

Indian Ink is the extraordinary partnership of Justin Lewis and Jacob Rajan. Together, they have created a series of remarkable theatre productions of intimate scale that remind their audiences of the simple truths of life.
