An ambitious, driving play... Lions and Tigers is a political history as much as it is a personal one, and it swings from dense history lecture to intimate storytelling, where Gupta's writing is at its most playful and potent. -- Corrie Tan * The Guardian * A powerful new play... It's typical of the play's freshness that it looks at the role of women in the cause of independence (and acknowledges those who feel they would have to unshackle themselves from Indian men first)... An impressive piece - warm, humorous, stirring, and deeply sad. -- Paul Taylor * The Independent * Seventy years on from the partition of India, the bloody legacy of mass displacement and sectarian conflict remains. But rather than dwelling on partition's effects, Tanika Gupta's new play celebrates the spirit of independence that preceded it... Flashes of humour punctuate a script that doesn't shy away from the ugly business of torture and grooming. -- Henry Hitchings * Evening Standard *
