Guards at the Taj @ ArtsWest (West Seattle)
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 changes them forever. Guards at the Taj is one of Pulitzer Prize Finalist Rajiv Joseph’s seminal works.
