📱 eBook en inglés INDIAN INK

Stoppards rich and moving meditation on art and love, set against one of the great shifts of history, as India regained its independence from the grip of the British Empire.

If you dont start learning to take youll never be shot of us. Nothing else counts. Its your country, and weve got it. Everything else is bosh.

Flora Crewe, a noted young Bloomsbury Group poet travelling India in 1930, has her portrait painted by a local artist, Nirad Das. More than fifty years later, the artists son visits Floras sister, Mrs Swan, in London while Floras would-be biographer is following a cold trail in India.

Indian Ink was first performed at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford, and opened at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in 1995. The play was revived at Hampstead Theatre, London, in December 2025.
