The leader of the opposition resigns in scandal, and against all odds, Angad Singh becomes the frontrunner. He could win, make history, and truly change things—if his sisters stay silent. BAFTA winner Adeel Akhtar (Fool Me Once, Four Lions) stars as Angad in this sharp exploration of family, power, and the lies we tell ourselves. Following his acclaimed revival of Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Daniel Raggett directs Shaan Sahota’s remarkable debut play.
