Indian Ink

A.C.T.
415 Geary St. San Francisco

A.C.T.'s revival of the romantic drama Indian Ink explores the brief, mysterious relationship between Flora, an adventurous English poet, and an Indian artist during that country's struggle for independence in the 1930s. Written by Oscar and four-time Tony winner Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love, Arcadia, The Real Thing) in his elegantly witty signature style, the play delves into fascinating issues of culture, history, and identity, as 50 years later, Flora's sister Eleanor is prompted to look back at what really happened between the two, uncovering surprises along the way. This Carey Perloff-directed production comes direct from a sold-out, critically-acclaimed run at New York's Roundabout Theatre.
