Set on two different continents and in two different eras, this passionate and fascinating drama by Tom Stoppard (Arcadia, The Real Thing) follows free-spirited English poet Flora Crewe on her travels through India in the 1930s, where her intricate relationship with an Indian artist unfurls against the backdrop of a country seeking its independence. Fifty years later, in 1980s England, her younger sister Eleanor tries to preserve the legacy of Flora’s controversial career. Little by little, Flora’s mysterious past is revealed, as is the surprising story of two people whose connection lives on through art. Indian Ink is an evocative portrait of love and loss while crossing cultural divides and a quest for divine sensuality.

Contains nudity.
