Tanika Gupta’s imaginative and bold adaptation of E.M. Forster’s masterful novel.
When Mrs Moore and Adela arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore they are excited about seeing the ‘real India’. Dr Aziz, a charming young Doctor puts out the hand of friendship but a mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar Caves. This sets of a train of events that have serious repercussions for everyone including the friendship between Dr Aziz and Mr Fielding, the School Master at Government College.
Muddle and mystery disturb the British Raj sense of order. Is it possible for an Englishman and an Indian to be friends while the British still rule India?
