Tommiya comes to Colombo
Its 2013 and Indu’s ready to stage his latest side-splitting comedy “Madai Tommiya Help Kala” – the newest, and believe it or not, the 11th play in the hilarious Tommiya series.
This time around, Tommiya is in Colombo to learn English and become fashionable. His mentor Andana Silva (hairdresser /dress designer) is not happy with Tommy’s somewhat slow progress and insists that Tommy should speak in English at all times.
This combined with the arrival of Andana‘s friend Nilmini who lives in the US leads to Tommy practically murdering the Queen’s English. Andana and Tania (Andana’s able assistant) are concerned when Nilmini’s ex-boyfriend Govinda Suraweera suddenly shows up after dumping Nilmini ten years ago to marry a rich politician’s daughter. Even though their intention is to keep Govinda away from Nilmini, the well-meaning Tommy in his keenness to help ruins everything, at one point threatening to post excerpts of past love letters on Nilmini’s facebook profile.
One misunderstanding leads to another. With Tommy’s help, the highly strung Mahesh (a hairdresser), Govinda’s boisterous bodyguard Rocky, regular clients Saro M. and Saro P. all manage to disrupt the smooth running of the Andana Salon.
“Madai Tommiya Help Kara” will premiere at the Lionel Wendt Theatre on January 18, 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are now on sale at the Lionel Wendt and are priced at Rs.1500, Rs.1000, Rs. 800 and Balcony (unreserved) Rs.500.
