India Gate is a joint production from The Questors & Punjabi Theatre Academy which is being performed in the Judi Dench Playhouse from 30 April to 7 May.
Written by Howard Shepherdson, in collaboration with Tajinder Sindra, this new 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 fight for India's independence from the British Raj began in 1919 in Amritsar.
