The Retold Ramayana with Daljit Nagra

Contact: www.richmix.org.uk
When poet Daljit Nagra was a boy in the 1970s, his relatives told him stories of Rama’s quest to rescue his wife Sita from her abduction by Raavana, Lord of the Underworld.
Versions of these stories – The Ramayana – have enchanted audiences across the Eastern world for 1000s of years. Daljit’s adaptation (published recently by Faber & Faber) is retold for a modern multi-cultural, multi-faith audience.
Now he brings it to the stage. Tender technicolour love scenes and demon battles are brought to life by one man and his voice: wild words and newly commissioned illustrations shone through space. At the height of the tale, a monkey army goes to war. One man on stage can’t represent a million monkeys … so you, the audience, will be drafted in to help.
