(Image Credit: ITV)

Back in November, Jamie was seen filming in Birmingham alongside lead actress, Parminder Nagra (E.R., Bend It Like Beckham). Now we can bring you all the information about the upcoming ITV thriller!

The Cast (and crew)

(Image Credit: ITV’s DI Ray Trailer)

Jamie will be playing DCI Martyn Hunter, Rachita’s boyfriend and fellow police officer. Parminder is DI Rachita Ray and Gemma Whelan is DCI Kerry Henderson. Other regular cast members are Maanuv Thiara and Sam Baker-Jones who are confirmed for all 4 episodes. Other well-known actors making appearances include: Helen George (Call The Midwife), Paul Copley (Hornblowers’ Matthews), Peter Bankole (The Chelsea Detective) and Ian Puleston-Davies (Coronation Street).

The show is written by Line Of Duty actress, Maya Sondhi, executive produced by Line Of Duty’s creator, Jed Mercurio and Madonna Baptiste and produced by Charlotte Surtees and Mercurio’s HTM Television. It will be directed by Alex Pillai.

Speaking About His Character And The Show

In the ITV Press Pack for the show, Jamie says of Martyn:

“Martyn is very supportive of Rachita. At the start of the series, she's in a difficult transitional moment where she's been promoted and she's nervous. She is launched straight into a suspected “culturally sensitive homicide” case where it is assumed that her South Asian heritage is going to be important. She immediately has a feeling that she's been thrown into the deep end, and the case isn’t what it seems. Martyn is a sounding board for Rachita and he tries to help steer her. He's a senior officer of high rank so she looks up to him professionally, but they are equals in terms of their relationship at home. It’s a mature and healthy relationship.”

About the show and it’s take on Racism in modern society, he comments:

“With DI Ray, you're not really aware that you're watching a drama about prejudice within society, it’s very subtle in a way that’s actually more akin to most people's experience of racial prejudice. You're just watching a really good cop show, but you're also understanding that for this particular character, she has to navigate more than just the usual office politics. It’s really nicely done so the audience doesn't need to feel it's watching something worthy with a message. You're just watching a woman in the modern world try to navigate a particularly tricky investigation, which is made trickier because of everyone's sensitivities around ethnic differences.”

He also discusses meeting and working with Parminder:

“It's always a challenge, creating a partnership with another actor, and a source of nerves and anticipation as you don't know quite how you're going to get on or whether your working methods are similar. But we got together in Birmingham for an afternoon just before filming, so that we could really establish that relationship. I’d never met Parminder before, but it was very apparent immediately that she was a very warm, funny, engaging person and we clicked effortlessly I'd say. It was great to have that afternoon just to make sure that we were on the same page. It was great fun. I'd like to think I made her laugh and she certainly made me laugh.”

The Plot

The synopsis of the show reads:

Rachita achieves the promotion she’s been waiting for when she’s asked to join a homicide investigation. However, on her first day she’s told the murder to which she’s been assigned is a ‘Culturally Specific Homicide.’ Rachita’s heart sinks – she suspects she’s a ‘token appointment’, chosen for her ethnicity rather than her ability.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, Rachita sticks to the case, determined to both find the killer and call out the obvious biases her colleagues are bringing to the investigation. And it’s far from easy. The case isn’t a run-of-the-mill murder; it involves delving deep into the dangerous world of organised crime.

Rachita is more than up for the task, but what she didn’t count on is what this case stirs up inside her; the realisation that she’s been burying a personal identity crisis her whole life. Truth is, she's had to work twice as hard as everyone else. It's not that she doesn't want to be Indian, it’s just that it would have been easier if she were white.

Air Date

The show will start on Monday 2nd May 2022 at 9pm on ITV1. As with Innocent last year, it will be broadcast over 4 consecutive nights with the last episode airing on Thursday 5th May 2022.

One of the great novels of the twentieth century, E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India is vividly re-imagined by award-winning ensemble simple8, in a co-production with Royal & Derngate, Northampton. The press night will be Thursday 22nd February, at 7pm.

How can we love each other in a world divided by race, power and religion?

This question at the heart of A Passage to India challenges us today just as it did a hundred years ago. With their new adaptation of Forster’s masterpiece and a diverse company of fourteen, simple8 finds in the past a mirror for our own divided times, carefully re-imagining this ground-breaking novel for contemporary Britain.

Multi-award-winning simple8 create worlds out of nothing. Rooted in “poor theatre”, this ensemble company creates all atmosphere and setting without extravagant costumes, scenery, props or recorded sound, producing dynamic plays that tackle big ideas. This new approach to Forster’s masterpiece will transport their audience to British India, conjuring up its elephants and trains, courthouses and temples – and the mysterious Marabar Caves – with the simplest of means.

Delighting in spectacle but dispensing with nostalgia and clutter, the production focuses instead on the novel’s beating heart. A Passage to India argues that friendship in a world divided is not possible “yet”; the natural question for us today is: “Is it possible now?”

simple8 seek to address this question in the form of the production itself, the entire spectacle providing a powerful image of different people working together to tell a story, using nothing but their shared imagination.

A Passage to India is adapted and co-directed by Simon Dormandy, whose recent directing work includes co-directing his own adaptation of the Coen Brothers’ film The Hudsucker Proxy (Nuffield, Southampton and Liverpool Playhouse), and directing Julius Caesar (Bristol Old Vic), Luce (Southwark Playhouse) and Waiting for Godot (Arcola Theatre).

Original music is composed and performed live by Kuljit Bhamra MBE, one of the most prolific musicians, composers and producers on the British Asian music scene, having composed and produced over 2000 songs and worked on film scores including A Winter of Love and Bend it Like Beckham. On stage, Kuljit has appeared in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Bombay Dreams (Apollo Victoria Theatre) and Bend it Like Beckham (Phoenix Theatre) which he also co-orchestrated.

The cast features Liz Crowther (The Witch of Edmonton, RSC) as Mrs Moore/Ralph, Matthew Douglas (An Inspector Calls, West End) as Callendar, Christopher Doyle (The Playboy of the Western World, Old Vic) as McBryde, Hannah Emanuel (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Arcola Theatre) as Mrs Callendar/Stella, Tibu Fortes (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Globe Theatre) as Hamidullah, Richard Goulding (King Charles III, Almeida, West End and Broadway) as Fielding, Nigel Hastings (Henry VI, Globe Theatre) as Turton, Asif Khan (Handbagged, UK Tour) as Aziz, Edward Killingback (Hay Fever, West End) as Ronny, Ranjit Krishnamma (Behind the Beautiful Forevers, National Theatre) as Godbole/Das, Phoebe Pryce (The Tempest, Globe Theatre) as Adela and Maanuv Thiara (Hamlet, Harold Pinter Theatre) as Mahmoud Ali. Music is performed live by Kuljit Bhamra MBE and Asha McCarthy.

A Passage to India is co-directed by Simon Dormandy and Sebastian Armesto, who has co-directed and co-written all of simple8’s productions to date. The production is designed by Dora Schweitzer, with lighting design by Prema Mehta.

LISTINGS A PASSAGE TO INDIA Park Theatre, Clifton Terrace, Finsbury Park, N4 3JP 20 Feb – 24 Mar 2018 Press night: 22 Feb 2018, 7pm Age guidance: Suitable for 7+ Performances: Tue – Sat Evenings 7.45pm, Thu & Sat Matinees 3.15pm http://ift.tt/1k7vYDl

New Writing Review - Anouska De Costa

I went to see a new play called True Brits by Vinay Patel on the 16th May at Hamilton House in Bristol. The audience went on a journey with the character of Rahul, played by Maanuv Thiara, depicting the difficulty of growing up in a world of destruction. The play portrays one boy’s life and the effect of the 7/7 bombings combined with festivities of the London Olympics. It was a powerful decision for the director, Ed Viney, to produce a one man show which completely focused on events from Rahul’s perspective.

The narrative is strong and bold which changes the dynamic of a common story as it gives a voice to a young Asian boy. It is an exposition of societal attitudes to the atrocities of 7/7 and racism. Thiara’s development of Rahul takes the audience on an emotional roller-coaster as we witness a coming-of-age story of a boy to man. The audience are drawn to Rahul as his character is innocent and naïve, excitedly ranting about the girl he likes and describing her in miniature detail. From this, we take delight in his first kiss, yet feel disgust and anger when society forces him to question whether he is worthy of love. The colour of his skin is a central theme. In the aftermath of the 7/7 bombings, Rahul’s character is viewed as suspicious. The audience are able to appreciate how challenging it is to be judged purely on appearance and the impact of racial prejudice. On the other hand, it is apparent to the audience how joyful and proud Rahul is to be British when the narrative shifts back to the London Olympics. Therefore, the emotions of the audience are constantly manipulated and confronted due to the juxtaposition of the narrative.

Maanuv Thiara’s portrayal of Rahul was impressive. He had a significant responsibility being the front man in a one man show which he performed brilliantly. His animated physicality created the multiple characters he described, making his gestures and mannerisms all the more credible. For example, he adopted a straight, rigid posture with narrowed eyes when conveying the policeman at the London Olympics. Thiara’s vocal ability was remarkable as he shifted from soft to harsh tones, to a Welsh accent for his best friend to an Indian accent for his mother. Due to the minimalist set of one chair, Thiara did well to keep all the attention on Rahul.

This was an innovative piece that was played brilliantly. Rahul suffered much but his spirit was never defeated. The play brought out the gaiety and the gloom of life events. The backdrop of politics was ever present and reveals the dark and light shades of human nature. It was a story about the triumph of hope over adversity and the flourishing of youth in an uncertain world. It highlighted the problems faced by non-white Brits seeking acceptance in their country of birth not origin. The audience felt the warmth and depth of this character and, in my opinion, it was a great success.

Review: The Father and the Assassin, National Theatre

Review: The Father and the Assassin, @nationaltheatre Simply phenomenal

Rajha Shakiry’s gorgeous design, Shubham Saraf’s astounding lead performance, so much to love about Anupama Chandrasekhar’s phenomenal The Father and the Assassin at the National Theatre “What are you staring at? Have you never seen a murderer up close before?” Too often, plays can feel stranded in the cavernous space of the Olivier Theatre but between them, writer Anupama Chadrasekhar and…
