Beyond the Land of Hattamala
In the poor rustic village of Hatua, live two great thieves - Kena and his bumbling apprentice, Becha. Thieving comes naturally to them and not a single house in Hatua has been spared! Their perfectly executed plans have made them a formidable pair and their fame has travelled far and wide. Despite their genius they are caught and flogged several times by the police, and remain poor.
Tonight, Kena and Becha undertake a unique journey. After a routine heist goes awry, they jump into a river to avoid a chasing mob. They wash up on the shores of a land, far far beyond anything they have ever known!
The extraordinarily naive residents of this country are nonchalant about personal possessions and this has Kena and Becha rubbing their hands in glee!
FINALLY, after years of dedicated thievery without luck, Kena and Becha get to reap their rewards.
Or do they?
Come; watch Kena and Becha and their confusion amongst the incredible people of the land far beyond Hatua.

Prayas TheatreThe immediate objective of Prayas is to put up an annual stage production, of aesthetic value and entertainment, by the Indian community. These productions would be based on the works of noted Indian playwrights with available and established English translations. To stage these productions, Prayas will call on talent from across the diverse regional Indian population in New Zealand.
While India has many languages and dialects, English or ‘Hinglish’ (Indian English) has become a common unifying language in contemporary urban India. ‘Hinglish’ is predicted to become the most widely spoken form of English in the not too distant future!
