Based on the Sunday Times bestseller which inspired one of this century’s most treasured films, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel takes audiences on a journey to India with an eclectic group of British retirees as they embark on a new life. The luxury residence is far from the opulence they were promised, but as their lives begin to intertwine and they embrace the vibrancy of modern-day India, they are charmed in unexpected and life-changing ways.

Rob Gittins, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for culture and digital, said:-

“We are already looking forward to staging The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and are confident that this joyous comedy will be a box office hit for Theatre Severn.”
