Epic Ramayana production heads to London

Zee Entertainment UK has announced the UK premiere of Humare Ram, a major theatrical production by Felicity Theatre that will be staged at the Eventim Apollo this July.

The play, inspired by the Ramayana, will run from 9 to 12 July at the Hammersmith venue and is being presented to UK audiences for the first time. The show has already travelled widely across India and internationally, completing more than 450 performances in 30 cities and reaching an audience of over 800,000 people.


Its upcoming London run follows earlier international performances, including a milestone staging at the Dubai Opera. Organisers say the UK presentation is intended to bring one of India’s most prominent contemporary stage productions to audiences in Britain, particularly the South Asian diaspora.

For Zee UK, which marks 31 years of serving South Asian audiences in Britain and Europe, the event continues its efforts to present Indian cultural storytelling on major international stages.

Bringing new perspectives to the Ramayana

Directed by Gaurav Bhardwaj and written by Rahull R Bhuchar and Naresh Katyayan, Humare Ram explores lesser-known perspectives and emotional layers within the Ramayana.

The production blends theatrical storytelling with large-scale stagecraft, visual design and music to recreate episodes from the epic. Its original soundtrack features the voices of well-known Indian singers including Shankar Mahadevan, Sonu Nigam and Kailash Kher.

The cast is led by actor Ashutosh Rana, who takes on the role of Ravan, alongside Rahull R Bhuchar as Ram. Bhuchar, who is also the founder and president of Felicity Theatre, said the project aimed to explore the deeper emotional dimensions of the epic while remaining faithful to its cultural roots.

Tickets for the London performances will go on sale on 16 March via the Eventim Apollo website. Audiences can also pre-register online to receive early access to tickets from 14 March.

The London run marks another step in the production’s international journey as the creators continue to take the Ramayana to audiences outside India through large-scale theatre.

Harry Potter effect: Dobby fans help divert £430m UK-Ireland power link

Highlights

  • Harry Potter fans helped prompt the diversion of the £430m Greenlink interconnector away from Dobby's grave.
  • The 125-mile cable connects the UK National Grid with Ireland via County Wexford and Freshwater West.
  • Project manager Simon Ludlam said his company received "hundreds of calls" from concerned fans.
  • Planners subsequently rerouted the underground cable away from Dobby's memorial.
  • The National Trust previously agreed in 2022 that the mock grave could remain at Freshwater West.

Dobby's grave at Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire has led to the rerouting of a multimillion-pound power link between the UK and Ireland after Harry Potter fans raised concerns that construction could disturb the tribute to the fictional House Elf.

The £430m Greenlink interconnector connects the National Grid with Ireland through a 125-mile cable between County Wexford and Freshwater West. The Pembrokeshire beach is where the death of Dobby was filmed for the Harry Potter films.
