Stoppard Play Pulls No Punches at ACT

Two worlds collide in Indian Ink, the passionate drama by four-time Tony Award^®–winner Tom Stoppard (Arcadia, The Real Thing). Indian Ink follows Flora, a free-spirited English poet on her travels through India in the 1930s, where her intricate relationship with an Indian artist unfurls against the backdrop of a country seeking its independence. Fifty years later, the legacy of Flora's controversial career and mysterious past is revealed in surprising ways.

Direct from the sold-out, critically acclaimed production at New York’s famed Roundabout Theatre Company this surprising story of two people whose connection lives on through art movingly explores how the creative spirit can bring us together in the most unexpected ways.
