Booking Details

The Edinburgh Fringe First winning sell-out smash-hit, KANPUR: 1857 returns to London.

Strapped to a cannon, an Indian rebel finds themselves answering to a British officer for the crimes of Kanpur – an Indian uprising against British colonial forces. Based on historical events, this new play comically satirises contemporary conflicts around gender, colonial violence, and making art in times of crisis.

Written by and starring 'storytelling genius' (★★★★★ Scotsman) Niall Moorjani, and co-directed by and starring Jonathan Oldfield, director of 2024's Best Newcomer Award-winning show.

But who is the hero and who is the villain? Whatever happens, it's going to be explosive.
