Ben is currently writing a swashbuckler based on the Siege of Lucknow. The focal point of the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the siege became emblematic of the first attempt by Indians to throw off the yoke of British Imperial rule. History, all too often, is seen through the prism of the winners. Labelled The Great Mutiny by the British, it is known in India as the First War for Independence. The mini-series will attempt a more nuanced telling of the heroic, tragic and visceral events of British Imperialism's most bloody disaster and India's first attempt to gain their freedom.
