Mein Ve Khuker Kha Saan (I want to eat chicken too)
After the success of Pendu Peo London Wich, The Drum is pleased to present its second language theatre piece for the Autumn season on Sat 19 Oct, 7.30pm, the hilarious production of Mein Ve Khuker Kha Saan. The play is performed in Pothowari.
The play focuses on Karmoo’s poverty stricken life when it takes a turn for the worse after his wife gives him an ultimatum- like the rest of the village she too would like to eat chicken.
To fulfil his wife’s ultimatum and rest his ears from the persistent nagging, Karmoo embarks on a series of scams in order to raise the money. When his neighbours go to the city for a short break, trusting him with their house keys Karmoo finds himself with the perfect opportunity. What he doesn’t expect is their early return- which results in some hilarious consequences.
Directed and produced by the prolific Tahir Chaudhry (Mein Ve Khuker Saan) was a smash hit on the TV station’s and paved the way for a wave for Pothowari TV dramas. It sold over a million DVDs in Pakistan alone and made Tahir Chaudry a household name.
Tahir Chaudhry has been producing stage shows for more than 20 years in his native Pakistan. Shows include Nocker Budi Da and Theray Nail, Theray Wail. Tahir decided to branch into the medium of television 10 years ago, and has been working in television ever since. Due to the overwhelming success of the television version of Mein Ve Khuker Kha Saan, Tahir decided to add another dimension by transforming the show into a stage production, which The Drum is delighted to presents.
