Guards of the Taj

In 1648 India, two Imperial Guards watch from their post as the sun rises for the first time on the newly completed Taj Mahal — an event that shakes their respective worlds. When they are ordered to perform an unthinkable task, the aftermath forces them to question the concepts of friendship, beauty, and duty and how it changes them forever.

Guards at the Taj will be directed by Capital Stage Co-Founder and Associate Artist Jonathan Williams (Blackberry Winter, Uncanny Valley, The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, Dying City, Master Class, Hunter Gatherers, Dirty Story, Boy Gets Girl, The Shape of Things) and will feature Rajesh Bose (Capital Stage debut), and Mohammad Shehata (Capital Stage debut). The production design team will include Stephen C. Jones (scenic design), Gail Russell (costume design), Timothy McNamara (lighting design), and Ed Lee (sound design).
