About National Theatre Live: The Father and the Assassin
Mahatma Gandhi: lawyer, champion of non-violence, beloved leader. Nathuram Godse: journalist, nationalist – and the man who murdered Gandhi. This gripping play traces Godse's life over 30 years during India’s fight for independence: from a devout follower of Gandhi, through to his radicalisation and their tragic final encounter in Delhi in 1948.
Directed by Indhu Rubasingham, National Theatre Live: The Father and the Assassin leans on a strong ensemble — Hiran Abeysekera, Azan Ahmed, Ravi Aujla — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
