The Chilli Boy

Work:: The Chilli Boy (S02046761476)

An hilarious South African play about an old Indian woman who dies and is reincarnated as a white gangster from a working class suburb in Johannesburg. At the age of 30, the gangster starts 'suffering' flashbacks from his previous life as an Indian woman. Issues of gender, race and identity play havoc with the gangster's mind - he starts wearing a sari, cooking curry and biryanis. He no longer wants to fight or brawl as his newly discovered maternal instincts start determining his behaviour. His tough 'reputation' is threatened by the resultant turmoil.
