Rehearsal images have been released of the cast of Wipers, which opens at the Curve, Leicester later this month.

Curve associate director Suba Das directs Jassa Ahluwalia as Thomas, Waleed Akhtar as Ayub, Simon Rivers as Sadiq and Sartaj Garewal as A.D. Wipers.

Written by Ishy Din, the production is commissioned by Curve and co-produced with Belgrade Theatre Coventry and Watford Palace Theatre and is inspired by the real life story of Khuddadad Khan, the first South Asian soldier to be awarded a Victoria Cross for his bravery at the First Battle of Ypres.

Wipers runs at the Leicester Curve from 14 to 23 April, after which it transfers to Watfrod Palace Theatre and Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.
