Description The contradictions of India with its iPhones and ancient gods come alive in this beautifully wrought production from one of New Zealand's most successful theatre companies. A poor chai-wallah (tea-seller) has his life changed forever when a homeless girl in a Bangalore railway station 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.
