Modern dating gets a comic makeover in Chemistry Test, a short play by Ruth Fingret set to premiere at the Bondi Pavilion Theatre on 30 August.
The show follows Raj, played by Rushi Dave, who treats Tinder like an Olympic sport, and Maya, played by Jyotsna Sharma, who is tired of her mother’s endless supply of “perfect boys” and takes her chances online. The result is a clash of expectations and personalities that promises both sparks and laughs.
Promoters describe it as “a laugh-out-loud show” where audiences can expect more than just awkward small talk and mismatched profiles. “Expect sparks and maybe even a chemical explosion or two for a night of comedy and cabaret,” the theatre company said.
The play forms part of an evening of entertainment that will also showcase live music and sneak peeks of new musicals, highlighting Bondi Theatre Company’s push to combine fresh writing with engaging performances.
Chemistry Test will be staged at the Bondi Pavilion Theatre on 30 August at 7.30pm. Tickets are available https://www.bonditheatrecompany.com.au/

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
