E.M. Forster's A Passage To India adapted for the stage at Park Theatre

One of the great novels of the twentieth century, E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India is vividly re-imagined by award-winning ensemble simple8, in a co-production with Royal & Derngate, Northampton.

How can we love each other in a world divided by race, power and religion?

This question at the heart of A Passage to India challenges us today just as it did a hundred years ago. With their new adaptation of Forster’s masterpiece and a diverse company of fourteen, simple8 finds in the past a mirror for our own divided times, carefully re-imagining this ground-breaking novel for contemporary Britain.

       

A Passage to India is adapted and co-directed by Simon Dormandy, whose recent directing work includes co-directing his own adaptation of the Coen Brothers’ film The Hudsucker Proxy, and directing Julius Caesar, Luce and Waiting for Godot. Original music is composed and performed live by Kuljit Bhamra MBE, one of the most prolific musicians, composers and producers on the British Asian music scene.

The cast features Liz Crowther as Mrs Moore/Ralph, Matthew Douglas as Callendar, Christopher Doyle as McBryde, Hannah Emanuel as Mrs Callendar/Stella, Tibu Fortes as Hamidullah, Richard Goulding as Fielding, Nigel Hastings as Turton, Asif Khan as Aziz, Edward Killingback as Ronny, Ranjit Krishnamma as Godbole/Das, Phoebe Pryce as Adela and Maanuv Thiara  as Mahmoud Ali.
