Multi-award-winning ensemble simple8 transport us to Imperial India with their adaptation of EM Forster’s great novel, conjuring up the elephants and caves, courthouses and temples with the simplest and boldest means – including original music played live on stage by legendary composer Kuljit Bhambra.
“The advice was harsh but clear, and Aziz ignored it. Now he lies in jail on a charge of sexual assault.
“Forster’s masterpiece poses a question more urgent today than ever: how can we love one another in a world divided by culture and belief?
“Full of humour and rich humanity, but with vast philosophical and political scope, A Passage to India is one of the great novels of the twentieth century. simple8’s thrilling new adaptation reimagines it for contemporary Britain.
7.30pm plus Sat 2.30pm, £10-£29. 140 mins incl interval, ages 7+.
