Theatre -> The Buddha of Suburbia UK Tour

THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA - UK TOUR
5 February - 8 May 2004

The Buddha of SuburbiaThe Buddha of Suburbia: An exuberant culture-clash of music, sex, drugs – and most of all – love and lust in their many forms. A production with universal appeal … sharp, witty and funny!

Join the insane world of Karim, a 17-year-old interested in becoming an actor, and Charlie a Pink Floyd-loving punk in this fast paced romp through the seventies. Karim wants to live life to the full, and so do his oddball friends (a Japanese prostitute, a charismatic theatre director, the feisty, rampant feminist Jamila and the one armed Changez - her "arranged" husband).

Being at an age when he’s ready for anything, Karim dabbles in sexual experimentation, women, men, and, of course, drugs! As he struggles to balance this part of his life with trying to please his father, who has begun to explore Buddhism in pretentious, middle-class South London, Karim’s world becomes a chaotic journey of self-discovery. Can Karim define his true identity in this crazy and conflicting world?

Hanif KureishiThis is the first-ever stage adaptation of Hanif Kureishi’s award-winning novel and successful television series, devised by SNAP theatre company, who last year received critical acclaim for their adaptation of ‘My Beautiful Laundrette’. The Buddha of Suburbia will be premiering at Watermans – the UK’s flagship venue for British-Asian arts.

With ground-breaking dramatic visual projections, original dance soundtrack and punk songs fusing together to create stunning, stimulating new theatre, The Buddha of Suburbia is this season’s must see.
