The Gentlemen's Club

The National Centre for the Performing Arts, India, presents Patchwork Ensemble's electrifying new version of their hit show. Join us as we enter Mumbai's pulsating underground club scene. Follow the exhilarating lives of the city's drag kings, headlined by the enigmatic Rocky, also known as Shammsher. Rocky’s act is a tribute to the legendary Shammi Kapoor and the golden era of Hindi cinema. Alongside Rocky, a diverse ensemble of women embrace the art of drag, delivering a cabaret-style performance that transports you to a gritty, hidden world where you can be anyone you desire. 

Featuring a dazzling mix of dance, music, and projection, this show unfolds an exciting and provocative narrative celebrating women and their exploration of masculinity.

The NCPA run of Gentlemen’s Club comes right before the production hits London's West End at the Soho Theatre. This will mark the first theatre collaboration between the NCPA and the renowned London venue.
