Every night in New Delhi, Uday Kumar (UK) answers panicked calls to the Goldmine Crypto GB Helpline, fantasising about being British himself, filling his YouTube channel with visions of a sophisticated new life of affluence, fish and chips and tea with the royals. Then a chance conversation one tea break reveals how he might make it all a reality. And at dawn a mere week later, he leaves the call centre forever and boards his first ever flight, to take his place amongst the English.
What happens next is the subject of Mohit Mathur’s hilarious and poignant one-man play of high hopes humbled in Hounslow and an Influencer stripped of influence amidst the brutal reality of the UK care sector, asking how and why, each year, hundreds of young men like UK vanish without a trace.
A rare chance to rethink much you’ve assumed about those who hope to live amongst us in a first piece from an exciting new playwright and West End performer, in collaboration with one of the UK’s most experienced theatre makers.
Join us after the performance on Fri 15 May for a Post Show Discussion with the Company.
