An Adventure Summary

An Adventure by Vinay Patel

I'm not much now, I know, but I will be. So pick me Jyoti and I swear I will make us the greatest adventure you ever have. On a stormy night in 1954, a woman doomed to marry one of five men discovers the wildcard choice might just be the person she'd been hoping for all along. An Adventure follows headstrong Jyoti and her fumbling suitor Rasik as they ride the crest of the fall of the Empire from the shores of post-Partition India to the forests of Mau Mau Kenya onto the industrial upheaval of 1970s London and the present day. But what happens when youthful ambitions crash hard against reality? When you look back at the story of your time together, can you bear to ask yourself: was it all worth it? Witty, charming and full of fearless historical insight, An Adventure is an epic, technicolour love story from one of the country's most promising young writers about the people who journeyed to British shores in hope and shaped the country we live in today.

An Adventure Reviews

tender, lyrical study of migration and upheaval * The Stage *
It's a global story told on the ground, seismic political shifts seen through people's real lives and it's that which makes An Adventure so entrancing. Character comes first, and Patel makes us care for everyone on his stage; all of them doing their best to live well. * WhatsOnStage *
Patel combines a gift for creating complex characters with a piercing emotional intelligence. * Evening Standard *
