The critically acclaimed theatrical presentation, Kaifi Aur Main, comes to the Symphony Hall, Birmingham; and the Indigo at The 02, London in September.
The stage production pays tribute to renowned Urdu poet, Kaifi Azmi, recounting the beautiful, real-life love story shared by Kaifi and his wife, Shaukat Azmi, seamlessly juxtaposing romance, humour and tragedy through a theatrical experience that combines live music and stage drama.
The sweeping, romantic saga recounts the journey and struggles of Kaifi’s life set against the socio-political backdrop of pre-independent India, simultaneously exploring his celebrated works and love story that has inspired generations.
The production is brought to life by veteran actress, Shabana Azmi, and renowned poet, lyricist and screenwriter, Javed Akhtar, interwoven with ghazals and evergreen Bollywood film songs rendered by ghazal maestro, Jaswinder Singh, complimented by a live orchestra.
