Hoping someone either has inside buzz or attends an early performance of this world premiere:

"Love, friendship and morality are tested against the bitter truths of life in Colonial Burma. Told with care, humor and deep humanity, this unprecedented stage adaptation is Orwell's uncompromising exposure of the underbelly of the British Empire.

"Orwell's first novel, and the philosophical basis for all his later works, BURMESE DAYS was initially banned in India, and published in 1934 in the States before being published in England the following year."

Kind of appeals to me, but I have a very tight schedule during the run -- any thoughts most appreciated!
