'Pali and Jay’s Ultimate Asian Wedding DJ Roadshow' is coming to The Wycombe Swan.
The play is set to run from Thursday, October 24, to Saturday, October 26, after the show's success at the Edinburgh Fringe.
The story follows uncle-and-nephew DJ duo Pali and Jay, who are at odds over family duty and expectation.
Pali, an old-school lover of the DJ craft, wants his nephew Jay to take over and secure his legacy.
However, Jay's motivations are more about the free food and finding 'fitties'.
'With only a DJ setup and the odd cup of chai, Pali and Jay must unite and navigate a high-stakes gig, to save their company, aspirations, and bromance.'
The audience is invited to witness the behind-the-scenes drama of a Desi wedding disco, as the duo fights, sabotages, and competes against rival roadshows to improve their position as the 19th-best Asian Wedding DJs in Southall.
The production is presented by the critically acclaimed Rifco Theatre, a company known for championing British South Asian talent.
The show gives fast-rising playwright Viraj Juneja a debut opportunity, as the show is written, co-conceived, and performed by him alongside Jas Binag.
The theatre company has a 25-year history of finding and promoting British South Asian stories and talent on UK stages, and the show tackles contemporary issues in a 'timely and refreshing manner.'
The production is directed by Ameet Chana, who has a background as a roadshow DJ himself, and he expressed his excitement about directing a show immersed in the world of Desi wedding DJs.
He said: "Rifco prides itself in championing new and mid-career artists; as a first-time writer/performer, Viraj Juneja has created something unique in bringing together both his and my lived experience—while also being funny, poignant, and immersive.
"Pali and Jay’s Ultimate Asian Wedding DJ Roadshow is a whole vibe, and I cannot wait for our 'wedding guests' to experience it."
The play has received positive reviews, with Shadows on the Wall describing it as "thoroughly entertaining," "strikingly well written and played," "in the end we want to get onto the dance floor ourselves," and awarded the show four stars.
Tickets for the show can be purchased on the Trafalgar Theatres website.
