The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) brings its 5th production; rib-tickling English play THE BUCKINGHAM SECRET, premiering on 13th September at Tata Theatre, NCPA.

Written and Directed by Meherzad Patel, the play stars Sabira Merchant, Danesh Irani, Nauheed Cyrusi, Azmin Mistry, Sajeel Parakh & others.

Fali Unwalla has designed revolving sets which recreate magnificently,the grandeur of royal living. This visual treat is sure to give audiences a complete feel of British royalty.

Khushroo N Suntook, Chairman of NCPA on the play says "We make a conscious effort to promote unique theatre and great talent. THE BUCKINGHAM SECRET is our fifth production and we are pleased with the way the production is shaping up. It is an exciting new play with great scope and we are looking forward to see it go places."

Deepa Gahlot, Head programming Theater and Films, NCPA says "Ever since the NCPA started producing its own plays, the attempt has been to give audiences a different experience each time. Just after the spiritually uplifting Tuesdays With Morrie and the musical love story Club Desire, we thought of doing a comedy. Meherzad Patel and his Silly Point Productions team came up with a hilarious and original concept and we were on. Hope the audiences enjoy it as much as we did putting up the production."

Writer and Director, Meherzad Patel says "The Buckingham Secret was an idea meant to make people laugh. It's got the excitement of everyone and even though the play is called the Buckingham Secret - it is no secret that this is a big deal for everyone from Sabira Merchant who plays the Queen to Fali Unwala and his magnanimous set, to Mr. Khushroo N Suntook and everyone at the NCPA who have made this project more than just a play. It's now a royal performance waiting to happen"
