Based on the true story of her great uncle and freedom fighter
Dinesh Gupta, Lions and Tigers is Tanika Gupta's most personal play
yet. It charts Dinesh Gupta's emotional and political awakening as
this extraordinary 19 year old pits himself against the British
Raj. The Empress: Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, 1887. At Tilbury
Docks, Rani and Abdul step ashore after the long voyage from India.
One has to battle a society who deems her a second class citizen,
the other forges an astonishing entanglement with the ageing Queen
who finds herself enchanted by stories of an India she rules but
has never seen. Great Expectations: Relocating Pip's extraordinary
journey to nineteenth-century India, this coming-of-age story,
evoking some of Dickens' most colourful characters, is faithful to
the period of the book and the richness of Dickens' language - a
vivid theatrical retelling of a universally loved masterpiece.
Refusing to be pigeonholed as an `Asian playwright', acclaimed
British playwright Tanika Gupta has a fresh perspective on race
relations, generational divide and sexual politics.
