National Theatre Live: The Father and the Assassin

Directed by Indhu Rubasingham

With Hiran Abeysekera, Azan Ahmed, Ravi Aujla, Paul Bazely and Ayesha Dharker

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.
