A world premiere dramatisation of Salman Rushdie's prize-winning classic story of the magic, myth-making and mischief of modern India.

MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN is a kaleidoscopic tale, told through the eyes of Saleem Sinai, born at the stroke of midnight, August 14-15, 1947: at the exact moment of India's Independence from Britain.

Inventive, contemporary, sweeping and engrossing - a cinematic history, a family saga and a political epic - MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN is a dramatic masterpiece of modern story-telling.

Rushdie and director Tim Supple previously collaborated on the National Theatre adaptation of Rushdie's HAROUN AND THE SEA OF STORIES.

This is the first time MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN has been staged - specially commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company for its 2003 production.
