'My name is Karim Amir, and I am an Englishman born and bred. Almost.' South London in the late seventies. High unemployment, high inflation, food shortages and strikes. But despite the winter of discontent, 17-year-old Karim’s life is about to explode into glorious technicolour as he navigates a path to enlightenment. Or at the very least, Beckenham. The RSC and Wise Children’s production of The Buddha of Suburbia transfers to London’s Barbican from 22 October for a limited four-week season only.
