The Mrichhakatikaa
A 5th-century Sanskrit play attributed to KingSudraka, adapted by Roger Elsgood with Willi Richards and Graeme Fife.
Recorded entirely on location in Khandala, India, with an all-Indian cast, it's the romance of Charudatta, a nobleman impoverished by his unconstrained altruism, and Vasanta, a beautiful-but-bored courtesan looking to settle down.
