The Far PavilionsThe Far Pavilions at The Shaftesbury Theatre, 210 Shaftesbury Avenue, London The Far Pavilions spans the 25 years between the Sepoy Uprisings of 1857 and the Second Afghan War, telling the story of forbidden love between a British Officer 'Ashton (Ash) Pelham-Martyn' and an Indian Princess 'Anjuli'. The epic story evokes the romance of India, the intrigue of the Rajput Court and the over-confidence of an Empire at the height of its power. Set in the landscapes of Northern India, the Indo-British identity of the central character reflects the enduring love affair between Britain and India, which Mary Margaret Kaye wrote about so memorably in her novel. |
