city of lions and gods

2013 Malostranská beseda, PRAGUE
2011 The Goat Farm Arts Center, ATLANTA

Early 1900's India: the political climate of the world is shifting as Hindustan is reshaped and the British Raj is at the brink of expulsion-a world of candlelight, secrets, and whispers behind closed doors.  City of Lions and Gods explores the journey of a woman's desire to fulfill her destiny at any cost.  Passionately laced, with movement, tradition, intrigue, power, deception and love. Written by award winning playwright, Marium Khalid, - City of Lions and Gods centers around a royal relationship that shaped a nation and changed our world forever. 
Based on true events.

"These actors don’t work with elaborate sets, but using music, candles, period books and a few simple props, they create the immersive, unadorned present moments that are the hallmark of live theater."
