When Gandhi and Mohammed Meet

First Rerun

The Academy of Creative Arts, Burlington, MA
4 shows
May 16 - 17, 2025

Neel Gandhi from London and Mohammed Aslam from New Delhi meet at a scientific conference in Bangalore, both facing intense opposition from families and friends in their planned interfaith marriages to their girlfriends. This gripping drama delves into the profound religious divides within Indian society and beyond, culminating in a surprising twist that reveals the artificial barriers that undermine our shared humanity and challenge the essence of pure faith and spirituality.

Viewers discretion is advised for strong language on potentially sensitive topics.

A strong DOUBLE CAST (Faith and Belief) will bring 14 characters to life.
