Serendipity is a magical, contemporaryplay written by published author and poet Sugu Pillay (The Chandrasekhar Limit and Other Stories).

A powerful drama centered amidst the ceaseless atrocities of the Sri Lankan Civil War and its devastating effects on a family of Kiwi third generation Tamils.

Malini has returned to her family in Christchurch after a mysterious 13-year absence, coming back just in time for her sister’s wedding. She has finally stopped running and now must face her past and the choices that led her away from her home and family.

Can Malini learn to live in a divided world – Heroes/Villains, Tamil/Sinhalese, Maori/Non-Maori, just to name a few of the binary oppositions that govern her identity, her life, her fate.

Serendipity is a modern drama that probes with unflinching honesty the issues that matter to us all – war, terrorism, love, family, cultural and national identity.

Starring: Ban Abdul, Tony Hopkins, Waylon Edwards, Mark Venning-Slater, Aneela Pancha, Patrick Coelho, Madonna Malaeulu
