Randall took full advantage of Hawthorn's Wysiwyg Suite, pre-programming the whole show prior to its one week production fit up at the CAST Theatre. Hawthorn was also contracted to provide technical support for the installation. The lighting package supplied included a range of Clay Paky fixtures including Sharpy, Sharpy Wash and Alpha Profile 800s.
The production featured classical Indian choreography to an original score performed by a live band. Vibrant costumes and lighting moods provided audiences with an authentic taste of Indian history translated into dance. The international cast included 24 talented young dancers from India, including finalists from India's Dancing Superstar (IDS) and India's Got Talent (IGT).
Producer Thrinath Kumar said of working with Hawthorn that "they supplied all the technical equipment for the show. Once I signed the agreement, I did not have to think about anything technical as the team from Hawthorn led by Mr. Matt Oscroft totally looked after everything, and they did it with a smile! When we had a slight technical problem a few hours before the opening, they drove a specialist from London (at a couple of hours' notice) so we could start without problems. It genuinely has been a pleasure to work with Matt and his team".
