The wedding feast is over and the bridegroom's father is dancing the bhangra, but the groom himself is curiously reluctant to make his way to the bedroom...

Six weeks later, the whole family start to panic. But 'Rafta, rafta...' or 'All in good time'! Based on Bill Naughton’s 1963 play All in Good Time, Ayub Khan Din's play Rafta, Rafta... was first performed at the National Theatre, London, in the Lyttelton auditorium in April 2007, directed by Nicholas Hytner.
