An NCPA-National Theatre Live (London) Presentation

The story of a family and a company that changed the world, told in three parts on a single evening. Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes (Skyfall, The Ferryman) directs Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Ben Miles, who play the Lehman Brothers, their sons and grandsons. On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside, dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers and an American epic begins. 163 years later, the firm they establish—Lehman Brothers—spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, and triggers the largest financial crisis in history. This critically acclaimed and five-time Olivier Award nominated play features stunning set design from Es Devlin (NT Live: Hamlet)

Tata Theatre  

Sunday, 7th February 2021 – 7.00 pm  

An NCPA Presentation in collaboration with Ideas Unlimited Production

Mohan’s Masala brings to life the lost world of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, through whom we discover that a lot of the Mahatma’s lessons were taught by these lost memories of ordinary life. Join Mohania as he takes you through his life journey. Let us understand what makes an ordinary soul into a spirit that is an inspiration to the entire world. What transformed a shy timid boy into a world-renowned leader? How did Mohan’s life experiences shape the value system and morality of Mahatma? Trace Mohan's journey from Porbandar to South Africa, from ordinary to extraordinary, from fear to fearlessness. This minimalistic play brings to life the untold story of Mohandas, told simply yet brilliantly, making it into an experience to be cherished.
