THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA @ Royal Shakespeare Theatre

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.

An irresistible, heart-breaking and joyful exploration of family, friends, sex, theatre and, ultimately, belonging.
