...Harlem's legendary Apollo Theater. Rushdie, who now lives in New York, loves the idea of his work being staged there. "For the RSC to go to Harlem is an important cultural event in itself, but there are resonances there with Midnight's Children. Race relations, the clash of cultures, questions of identity.

This is how we will prove Samuel Huntington wrong, and show that civilizations need not clash, but can actually be united. [Huntington has famously written of the inevitability of a "clash of civilizations" in the wake of the Cold War.] We will have Turkey, with a predominantly Muslim population as part of the European Union, and this will have profound effect on the views of the people...
