The Buddha Of Suburbia

The Buddha Of Suburbia

Barbican Theatre, London, EC2Y 8DS
  • This ‘glorious and intoxicating five-star’ (Times) production based on Hanif Kureishi’s award-winning novel THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA comes to London's Barbican Theatre for a limited 4-week season only.

    South London in the late seventies. High unemployment, high inflation, food shortages and strikes. But despite the winter of discontent, 17-year-old Karim’s life is about to explode into glorious technicolour as he navigates a path to enlightenment. Or at the very least, Beckenham.

    Director Emma Rice brings her unique and joyful style to Hanif Kureishi’s award-winning 1990 novel, exploring family, friends, sex, theatre and, ultimately, belonging, in a critically acclaimed production that will you leave you ‘on a rare high’ (Telegraph).
