Based on the Sunday Times bestseller, which inspired one of this century’s most treasured films, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel takes us on a journey to India with an eclectic group of British retirees as they embark on a new life.
The luxury residence is far from the opulence they were promised, but as their lives begin to intertwine, they are charmed in unexpected and life-changing ways.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a joyous comedy play about taking risks, finding love and embracing second chances, even in the most surprising of places.
Direct from the UK, Colin Richmond’s striking, static set spans the width and depth of the stage to simultaneously present inside and outside spaces at the run-down colonial home turned hotel. Inside, passageways and staircases surround a central reception area. Outside, lush green plants and delicate fairy lights create an oasis of old-world Indian charm in a courtyard garden. The attention to detail is impressive and immersive, right down to the hum of traffic and echoing the call to prayer audible in the distance.
