In 17th century Mughal India, two brothers battle for succession to the throne. Driven by different interpretations of Islam, Dara is a lover and an artist while Aurangzeb is a staunch fundamentalist. Only one will succeed – but at what cost? (Based on true historical events.)
“There is no limit to what families do to one another, so much crueller than they are to strangers.” ~Itbar, Act 3 Scene 1
