Between love and survival, what would you choose?

Based on Khushwant Singh’s epic novel, Train to Pakistan delves into the chaos of the 1947 partition of British India into India and Pakistan. Set in the idyllic village of Mano Majra in Punjab, this gripping tale unravels as a murder disrupts the peace, gradually pulling the village into the violent and tragic aftermath of the partition. Amid the chaos lies the love of a Sikh man for a Muslim woman—a bond that stands as the last hope against the impending disaster that awaits the village.

Regarded as a classic of modern Indian fiction, Train to Pakistan has been adapted to both film and stage, receiving praise for its nuanced and humanistic perspective on one of South Asia’s most significant historical events.

Directed by Daisy Irani, the beloved actress brings her decades of experience in television, theatre and film to this riveting story. Alongside her company, HuM Theatre, she gathers a diverse cast of established theatre practitioners and fresh faces to breathe life into this story.

Ages: 16 and above.
