Baba Shakespeare

Work:: Baba Shakespeare (S1879084514)

Loosely based on the real-life experiences of actress Felicity Kendal and her family, the story follows a troupe of British theatre players as they travel across 1960s India performing their particular brand of Shakespeare against the backdrop of a newly emerging nation; and of the tangled love affair which ensues between a young English actress, a rich Indian playboy, and a glamorous Bollywood star. Baba Shakespeare offers a new twist on the themes of cultural clash and identity by exploring the 1960s story through the lens of a contemporary Indian film director, interweaving it with the colour and spectacle of music and dance.

Production:: (T01106117445)

Producer	Tower Theatre (as part of the RSC Open Stages initiative)
Adapted by	Emmeline Winterbotham (suggested by the Merchant Ivory film Shakespeare Wallah of 1965 by Ruth Jhabvala and James Ivory)
