Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children
Simon Reade, Tim Supple, Salman Rushdie
The original stage adaptation of Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, winner of the 1993 Booker Prize
In the moments of upheaval that surround the stroke of midnight on August 14-15, 1947, the day India proclaimed its independence from Great Britain, 1,001 children are born — each of whom is gifted with supernatural powers. Midnight’s Children focuses on the fates of two of them — the illegitimate son of a poor Hindu woman and the male heir of a wealthy Muslim family -— who become inextricably linked when a midwife switches the boys at birth.
In collaboration with Simon Reade, Tim Supple and the Royal Shakespeare Society, Salman Rushdie has adapted his masterpiece for the stage.
