play "Guards at the Taj Mahal"

Went in DC at the last minute to catch a new play "Guards at the TAJ". In 1648 India, two Imperial Guards watched from their post as the sun rises for the first time on the newly-completed Taj Mahal — an event that shacked their respective worlds. When they were ordered to perform an unthinkable task (chopping of hands of 20,000 artisans so TMJ can never be duplicated), the aftermath forced them to question the concepts of friendship, beauty, and duty. I was in Agra in 2013 to see Taj Mahal without knowledge of the story. Now Taj Mahal will never look the same in my eyes, whether the story was true or not. — checked in to Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company.
