We heard really great things about last year’s production of The Father and the Assassin at the National Theatre, but unfortunately weren’t able to cover it when it played previously – so we were excited to see that it was returning to its former home. This production reunites Indian playwright Anupama Chandrasekhar with director Indhu Rubasingham, and stars Olivier-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) as the assassin Nathuram Godse. It’s a captivating piece of historical theatre – this is an incredible story and the way it’s told is extremely compelling. But minor gripes aside this is a fascinating watch and it tells an important story – one we’d gladly recommend. GAY TIMES gives The Father and the Assassin – 4/5More information can be found here.
