17-28 March 2009,
9.00pm Serendipity is a magical,
contemporaryplay written by published author and poet Sugu
Pillay (The Chandrasekhar Limit and Other
Stories). A powerful drama
centered amidst the ceaseless atrocities of the Sri Lankan
Civil War and its devastating effects on a family of Kiwi
third generation Tamils. Malini has returned to her
family in Christchurch after a mysterious 13-year absence,
coming back just in time for her sister’s wedding. She has
finally stopped running and now must face her past and the
choices that led her away from her home and family. Can Malini learn to live in a divided world –
Heroes/Villains, Tamil/Sinhalese, Maori/Non-Maori, just to
name a few of the binary oppositions that govern her
identity, her life, her fate. Serendipity is a
modern drama that probes with unflinching honesty the issues
that matter to us all – war, terrorism, love, family,
cultural and national identity. Starring: Ban Abdul,
Tony Hopkins, Waylon Edwards, Mark Venning-Slater, Aneela
Pancha, Patrick Coelho, Madonna Malaeulu Serendipity
