Guards at the Taj

Celebrated playwright Rajiv Joseph (Broadway’s Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo) brings a bold and surprising new play to Atlantic.

In 1648 India, two Imperial Guards watch from their post as the sun rises for the first time on the newly-completed Taj Mahal- an event that shakes their respective worlds. When they are ordered to perform an unthinkable task, the aftermath forces them to question the concept of friendship, beauty and duty, and changes them forever.
