(Shika
Budhoo & Dhaveshan Govender)
Presented by Shika Budhoo and Dhaveshan
Govender, Aya’s Boy promises
audiences a hysterical journey of a stubborn grandmother trying to marry off
her delinquent grandson.
When 30 year-old Pooven, aka The Fresh
Prince of Montclair, hip hops into his granny’s house, little does he know that
he’s on a comedy collision course with Vaneshree, the Gadhra-Bean Queen.
Audience members can expect an assortment
of crazy characters from Aya’s cock-eyed hen-pecked husband, Thatha, to a very
“spiritual” Bollywood guru, Guru GuptaPoo, who both get trapped into Aya’s plot
to marry off her off-beat grandson.
You’ve heard of “jilted lovers”, but this
story is about the “tilted lovers”- Vaneshree and Pooven - showing us the funny
side of love, with Aya starring as their “Fairy Grandmother “ waving her
walking-stick-wand around. This crazy comedy is the perfect warm up to the
festive season and is suitable for the entire family. With song, dance, and a
barrel of laughs, Aya’s Boy is sure
to hit your funny bone in all the right places.
Govender and Budhoo have been in
post-production for their first film, Hindrance
and are well known for their roles as Storm and Mrs. Singh Song in Clinton
Marius’s Lollipop Lane. Budhoo will be
remembered for her fine stage performances in The Fantastical Flea Circus, Shika-Land! and this year saw her on
the Gold Reef City stage as aunty Bolly in Oh
Golly Its Bolly. Govender is known for his stage performances in King Of Old Trafford, Opera Exposed and Shear Madness.
The now husband-and-wife team are tackling
love head on, showing when love is involved, how heads can roll, heads can
crack and heads can turn.

Boy will have one performance at Catalina Theatre,
