| Summary: | A highly theatrical, humorous, and faithful stage version of Forster's classic novel of disconnection and prejudice in 1920s India. Before deciding whether to marry Chandrapore's local magistrate, Adela Quested wants to discover the 'real India' for herself. Newly arrived from England, she agrees to see the famous Marabar Caves with the charming Dr Aziz. In the heat and darkness of a cave, Adela is attacked, and the fragile structures of Anglo-Indian relations collapse as Aziz is brought to trial for assault. It is a sensitive and profound story which exposes the absurdity, hysteria and depth of cultural ignorance that existed in British India.
