Sexy Buddha

Galatea Theatre & Twice as Good Productions present 50 minutes of soul comedy.

Story:
A Buddhist nun walks into the bar of the most cynical bartender in the world. She discovers why cocktails explain the meaning of life and he discovers the secret behind why a Buddhist nun would ever want to hide out in his bar.

“Blended together like a well-shaken cocktail. Galatea Theatre has the attractive can-do enthusiasm of an independent company. The result is a lively and life-affirming piece of theatre.” - NZ Herald
