| Description | Rich Mix and Phizzical Productions present: What You Fancy Adapted from William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night by Omar Khan Directed by Leylah Lighting and Design by Sâmir Bhamra Cast: Sharnpal Jeetley, Jas Binag, Mark Khutan, Nikey Singh, Bhavika Mistry, Omar Khan, Robby Khela, Pritesh Chauhan, Shahid Khan, Hiten Mistry, Susan Kaur, Deena and Davina Gadhia Relevant and more accessible than ever to today’s youth, What You Fancy is sure to have you chuckling in the aisles as it takes you to a world ruled by superficiality, money and power. Set in our modern celebrity obsessed society; this vibrant show blends British and Indian culture as it reveals the underdogs who control the brightest stars in Bollywood. A glamorous affair, What You Fancy features a splash of Bollywood magic, British tradition, music and dance. Former Miss World and hottest Bollywood sensation Olivia Kapoor has been stalked, harassed and thoroughly humiliated on a chat show by her co-star Dhruv Raj Singh, the King of Bollywood. Depressed and angry she meets Casim who re-awakens her spirit and passion. Little does she know that Casim is really a woman in disguise, who is in love with Dhruv Raj Singh! While this love story takes place we also enter the frothy underworld of Olivia’s servants, where a war is brewing to gain power and love. As the war escalates a vicious prank is planned. Will it play out as expected? “Sari’s and bling, in the best of Bollywood screen style” The Stage In 2004 Phizzical productions went on tour with their first musical Precious Bazaar. Very well received, it was nominated for the Windrush award and toured again in 2005 to sell out audiences. “Precious Bazaar is the must see Bollywood musical of the year” BBC Phizzical Productions followed their initial success with their second play Romeo and Laila. Written by popular Sony TV presenter Omar Khan, Romeo and Laila captured the harsh realities of modern society and received unanimous critical praise and a standing ovation. “Great raw energy and talent on the stage” Phillip Parr, Director, Bath Shakespeare Festival Information • £10, £8 concessions • Friday 4 and Saturday 5 of July 2008 • 7.30 pm • Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, E1 6LA London, 020 7613 7498 • Further information can be found on the Rich Mix website www.richmix.org.uk or Phizzical Productions website http://www.phizzical.com. • Rich Mix is fully accessible for wheelchairs and all cinema screens have a fully integrated infra red system for guests who are hard of hearing.
