About Rafta, Rafta
Music from the Royal National Theatre Production by Ayub Khan-Din based on All in Good Time by Bill Naughton.
The wedding feast is over and his father’s dancing the bhangra, but the groom himself is busy on the net. and when it’s time for bed, he’s so woefully inhibited by the proximity of his parents, let alone his brother’s childish pranks, that his beautiful virgin bride remains just that. Six weeks later, the whole family start to panic. A hugely warm-hearted, comic tale of close-knit Indian family life in England by the author of East is East, Ayub Khan-Din. Bollywood actor Harish Patel, making his debut on the London stage, is joined by Meera Syal[/learn_more]
