Press Reviews
"…a work of great literature that has been adapted with fierce intelligence; a thrilling devotion to movement, music and design; and a unique feel for place and character.” —Chicago Sun-Times. “…Martin Sherman has written a smart, sensitive, even wise stage version of the E.M. Forster novel about a clash of cultures in British India.” —Chicago Reader. ”Martin Sherman's stage adaptation is a tight, nuanced work that conveys the gripping essence of Forster's look into the world of British colonialism in India…a bold masterwork that underscores Forster's contempt for imperialism, political and sexual repression…It is pure joy to witness an epic novel come alive on stage."
