Viceroy’s House in Delhi was the home of the British rulers of India. After 300 years, that rule was coming to an end. For 6 months in 1947, Lord Mountbatten (Hugh Bonneville), great grandson of Queen Victoria, assumed the post of the last Viceroy, charged with handing India back to its people. A decision was taken to divide the country and create a new Muslim homeland: Pakistan. It was a decision whose consequences reverberate to this day. The end of an empire, the birth of two nations.

Critic Reviews

“Anderson's per­formance is a meticulous assemblage of gestures and intonations – stiff-necked posture together with an aristocratic drawl – which sit oddly but believably with Edwina's liberal disposition and sharp instinct for game-playing.”
 – Sydney Morning Herald

“Intellectually engaging, yet emotionally detached, Viceroy's House is a fascinating tale that needs telling and looks great.”

“It's a gentle reminder that this may be an entertaining retelling of events, but the experience is still felt by the families who experienced them.”
