Scooping Best Play, Best Actor and Best Composer on debut, by Indian Ink Theatre Company has gone on to sell-out tours around the world.

Now it is time for Guru to bring his magic to the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre.

Indian Ink is firmly established as one of New Zealand's most successful independent theatre companies. It has garnered an international reputation with their works consistently enjoying sell out seasons in the UK, Singapore, Australia, Germany and the US.

The company was formed by Jacob Rajan and Justin Lewis, who wrote Guru of Chai.

The work is performed by Rajan with award winning multi-instrumentalist Adam Ogle.

In Guru of Chai, the contradictions of modern India with its iPhones and ancient gods come alive in this outrageously funny and heartbreakingly beautiful romantic thriller.

A poor chai-wallah 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.

Kutisar (the chai-wallah) is one of Rajan's favorite characters: "He's actually based on a mask-dancer that Justin and I met in Bali.

"A man steeped in the spirituality of mask-dance, but with a weakness for beer and cockfighting, and yet desperate to have a Facebook page - he literally danced into our lives, and onto the pages of this play as a fully formed character."

Rajan channels 17 characters during the performance, and his performance has been described as a mesmerising blend of dazzling showmanship and pure genius.

The reviews are outstanding for this production.

Indian Ink aim to make theatre that is beautiful, funny, sad and true.

They want the experience of the theatre to leave indelible imprints on the hearts of their audience. Guru of Chai will not disappoint.

Each year BMEC presents a fabulous season of work, and Guru of Chai will be a stand out this year.
