Drama on 3: Season of Migration to The North, By Tayeb Salih

Translated by Denys Johnson-Davies and dramatised by Philip Palmer. The late Tayeb Salih's wry and sensual masterpiece has been described as the most important Arab novel of the 20th century. First published in Arabic in 1966, ten years after Sudan's independence, it's a hall of mirrors which conjures poetry and suspense from the ambivalence of the colonial legacy. A young man returning from studying in Europe to his beloved village 'on the bend in the Nile' unravels a tale which will lead to murder. With Beru Tessema, Zubin Varla, Philip Arditti, Farzana Dua Elahe, Nadim Sawalha, Oscar James, Ellen Thomas, Donnla Hughes, Carolyn Pickles, Mitchell Zhangazha, Jonathan Tafler, Chris Pavlo, Inam Mirza, Jill Cardo, and Dan Starkey. Produced and directed by Jonquil Panting
