Madai Tomiya help kala
A few good laughs can not only heal your soul, but also make you spread that cheer to everyone around you.
Indu Dharmasena has been dealing in the business of laughs for quite some time now, having written close to 58 plays; “Madai Tomiya help kala” is the 11th in his side-splittingly funny Tomiya series.
The play will be staged at the Lional Wendt from the 18th to the 20th of January.
This time around we find the naive but good natured Tomiya, coming to Colombo to educate himself on the intricacies of the English language. His guru; hair dresser Andana Silva, insists that Tommy speaks in English every waking second of his life, to hasten his learning process. Into this mix enters Nilmini; Andana’s friend, who’s down from the United States, and what results as you can imagine, is a series of hilarious puns and jokes that will make you laugh your insides out.
At some point Nilimini’s ex-boyfriend Govinda Suraweera suddenly drops in out of the blue. He had dumped Nilmini ten years ago to marry a rich politician’s daughter, and now he’s back and it’s upto our Tommiya to make sure that there is some distance between Govinda and Nilmini. Will the forever good-natured Tommy end up helping or actually making things worse? Well, you will just have to find out for yourself this weekend.
