Indian Ink June 27, 2007

Set in the year 1930 against India's struggle for independence, Tom Stoppard's 'Indian Ink' chronicles the brief, transformative, and possibly erotic relationship between Flora Crewe, an English poet, and Nirad Das, an Indian artist. Fifty-some years later, Flora and Nirad's heirs attempt to piece together the elusive truth about the pair's mysterious relationship. Packed with Stoppard's trademark wit and wordplay,'Indian Ink' is also an elegant, passionate and sweeping account of accidents of fate and love.
