Strapped to a cannon, an Indian rebel finds themselves answering to a British officer for the crimes of Kanpur – an Indian uprising against British colonial forces.

Written by and starring 'storytelling genius' ***** (Scotsman) Niall Moorjani and co-directed by and starring Jonathan Oldfield, director of 2024's Best Newcomer Award-winning show. But who is the hero and who is the villain? Whatever happens, it's going to be explosive. Winner of the Pleasance's Charlie Hartill Fund.
