Never sit on a throne. Never tell a lie.<\/p>\n<p>A light-hearted comedy based on a traditional Indian folk-tale.\u00a0 Charandas Chor is the story of an honest thief. In return for a safe haven from the police, Charandas makes a set of bizarre promises to a holy man. He agrees eagerly, unaware that a string of unlikely events will come to pass, testing his integrity and endangering his life.<\/p>\n<p>Charandas exposes corruption and hypocrisy in the political and social elite, proving that despite being a thief, he is a more honourable man than those around him.<\/p>\n<p>This is a joyful, energetic and engaging play with a universal appeal. Striking a balance between cultures, this production draws influences from Indian costume and theatrical style, whilst integrating traditional folk music from Lincolnshire, with a cast of European performers. It is a truly multicultural experience.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Habib Tanvir, Charandas Chor is an Edinburgh Fringe First award-winning play. Part of the Lincolnshire Diversity in the Arts: Research and Development Project by the University of Lincoln, and supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Project co-directed by Arya Madhavan.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets \u00a312\/\u00a310 available online, click<a href=\"https:\/\/lpac.co.uk\/event\/charandas-chor\/\"> here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Running Time: 1 hour 50 mins (inc. interval)<\/p>\n<p>Please print or show your confirmation email on the day of the event.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vanel.org.uk\/va\/2016\/09\/charandas-chor-the-honest-theif-at-franklin-college\/chandras-chor\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11961\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11961\" src=\"http:\/\/vanel.org.uk\/va\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Chandras-Chor-212x300.png\" alt=\"Chandras Chor\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/vanel.org.uk\/va\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Chandras-Chor-212x300.png 212w, http:\/\/vanel.org.uk\/va\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Chandras-Chor.png 535w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-11960\" data-postid=\"11960\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-11960 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edinbrough Fringe First award winning play, &#8216;Charandas Chor, The Honest Thief&#8217;, is coming to Franklin College on 23rd September 2016 at 7pm.
