‘The Mongol Khan’ is a lavish revival of a 1998 play by Mongolian writer and poet B.Lkhagvasuren: this huge production – with a cast of over 70 – played a blockbuster run in Ulaanbaatar last year, and now comes to the London Coliseum for a couple of weeks as part of the celebrations for the sixtieth anniversary of diplomatic ties between Britain and Mongolia.

As for the dramatic content, it would appear to be a fictional narrative set 2,000 years ago at the dawn of the Hunnic Empire, following the heroic Archug Khan as he sets out to form an enduring dynasty. The Huns were, of course, notorious for raiding and ravaging the Roman Empire, but this is set long before all that.
