Description
In this brilliant one-woman show that cuts across the generations, acclaimed actor and writer Sudha Bhuchar invites you into a warm-hearted world of storytelling.
As a middle-class, multicultural mother of millennial sons, Sudha lives a ‘squeezed middle’ life in Wimbledon. But as she navigates her career, family and returning to India, she’s prompted to investigate her own sense of home and place in the world. Her cross-continental childhood is certainly a far cry from that of her fiercely British, mono-lingual sons with their comfortable upbringing in leafy suburbia.
Sudha invites her boys to ‘crack open a cold one’ and share their views on life. But how do they view their dual heritage and what does it mean for them? This joyful monologue invites you to carry on the conversation long after you’ve left the theatre.
