The Father and the Assassin at National Theatre

Mahatma Gandhi: lawyer, champion of non-violence, beloved leader.

Nathuram Godse: journalist, nationalist – and the man who murdered Gandhi.

This gripping play traces Godse’s life over 30 years during India’s fight for independence: from a devout follower of Gandhi, through to his radicalisation and their tragic final encounter in Delhi in 1948.

The play was first shown at National Theatre last year and had good reviews.   It returns to NT this year for another season.  

Tickets from £20. To book:  please click here  

Pre-Theatre F&B:  There are two self-service eateries next to each other at the ground floor of NT:  Atrium Cafe and KERB at the UNDERSTUDY.  You can purchase food and drink at either place or bring your own picnic.  Meet from 6pm at Atrium Cafe. 

I will be setting up a Whatsapp group for easy co-ordinations close to the event.  If you wish to join this group,  please send your name and mobile number at least a few days in advance to swcsocialATgmailDOTcom.

Please do not put a comment on the website or send emails after 6pm on the day of the event (i.e. after the event has started), as it is unlikley someone will check them.

A history lesson for all! It was clear that no matter which country one went to the school, little was taught on the Indian history.

10 walkers gathered just outside Atrium cafe for a pre-theatre social and F&B. I heard some appraises for the india food from Kerb at the UNDERSTUDY, a perfect warm up for the play about India. We met up with two others at the interval and went outside on the balcony to enjoy the fabulous lights across the Thames. The group gathered again briefly after the play to share our experience. A thought provoking play that shall resonate for some time.... n=12.
