...about writing instead of that other shit!" He approves, too, of Supple's grand staging. The director is throwing every theatrical device in the book at the show - intricate sound and lighting plots, rich costumes brought from India, even a cinema screen that can split into four to help depict the different narrative strands. The operating principle, says Rushdie, is excess. "Everything in this stage version should be excessive, sensual, tumultuous, colorful. That was my view of urban India in that period." After a five-week run in London, the show will go to the U.S., first to Ann Arbor...
