Forster’s A Passage to India, this adaptation brings to the surface the hidden desires that Forster himself could only hint at. Written in a storyteller-theatre style, the play focuses on Dr. Aziz, Cyril Fielding, and Adela Quested—three characters whose tangled emotions cross boundaries of culture, class, and empire. As Aziz and Fielding grapple with their unspoken attraction, and Adela confronts her own unexpected longing for Aziz, passion collides with repression. In a society governed by colonial authority and rigid moral codes, their desires cannot be contained—and the cost of silence, denial, and forbidden intimacy is devastating. About  the AuthorDoug DeVita is a playwright whose work has been described as "darkly funny," "emotionally sharp," and occasionally "too real." His blacker-than-black comedy Goddess Of The Hunt recently won a BroadwayWorld Regional Award for Best Play. He’s a two-time O’Neill Semi-Finalist and has collected a modest pile of semi-finalist laurels and a few shiny Fresh Fruit Awards along the way. His work has been produced coast to coast (plus London!), developed by the Kennedy Center (back when it was still "woke"), and are published by Next Stage Press and Smith & Kraus. He’s a proud member of the Dramatists Guild and even prouder when people spell his name right.About the eventThis Eventbrite ticket is your reservation for the event.Please note that the purchase of A Passage to India ($10.95) is required for entrance. Upon arrival, our team will direct you to the register to obtain your copy and complete your admission.The store will begin welcoming guests at 7:15 pm.Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at rsvp@dramabookshop.com.In the event of the event being sold out.
