Synopsis:
The script is a cunning combination of sharp satire, lewd comedy and political insight in which no target is too sacred, including ballistic cross border strife over Kashmir, deft sideswipes at Bengalis, Brits, Muslims and historic heroes of the Raj. Soul Sikher follows the journey of an imbalanced Paul aka (Asianly Known As) Palwinder who stumbles from his Sikh path into the belly of materialistic Britain. When his pleasure comes only from his Plasma, his salvation from his Playstation and his reverence from his Lexus, it is time for divine intervention to reel him in with a final test via a one-way ticket to the Punjab! And so begins Pauls reluctance re-acquaintance with his roots, his-self, and his extraordinary people including; the driving destructor, the unbearable sister, a bugger of a beggar and the sub-continents craziest sucker; Chippore the mosquito. Augmented with video footage filmed on location in India (and Southall), Sody Singh Kahlon once again embarks on a fast-paced provocative and moving production that challenges his award winning comedy career and furthers Sikh representation in British theatre.
