Gods of Spicy Things: a divine comedy
A JUTE Theatre & Crossroad Arts co-production
By Sue Hayes. Directed by Suellen Maunder
Presented by Queensland Arts Council
A spiritually motivated, light-hearted tale mixed with a good dose of fun – typical Bollywood!
CAIRNS POST
Gods of Spicy Things: a divine comedy is the story of two hindu gods, two unsuspecting mortals, and a contest of love – Bollywood style!
Leela, a magazine writer seeking exotic adventures and Chris, a slick London advertising guru visiting his Indian homeland to scatter his mother’s ashes, are thrown together by the gods and taken on an unexpected journey.
It is a colourful, mystical romp through India with all the elements of a Bollywood hit movie – romance, fate, family, a hint of pathos and a good dose of singing and dancing. A divine comedy about the beautiful contradiction that is India, starring sue hayes and Christopher glover.
