India Gate

This gripping play follows the journey of Edwin and Emily Lutyens and their connection with the Indian community in London and Delhi during the construction of the All India War Memorial (India Gate). Their story is interwoven with that of the Sikh Martyr Udham Singh, whose extraordinary fight for India’s independence from the British Raj began in 1919 in Amritsar.

A world première of a passionate and intriguing new play developed in collaboration with the Punjabi Theatre Academy, theatre-makers of Indian heritage who have brought their cultural understanding to this important and multi-faceted true-life story. Performed in English language, with some Punjabi dialogue for native speakers.
