Evening Conversations is a one-woman show written and performed by Sudha Bhuchar. This show will take place at Theatre in the Mill and will have live musical accompaniment by Arun Ghosh.
“You’re the one with the identity crisis mum, not us!”
Middle-class, middle-aged, multicultural mother of millennial sons, Sudha invites her Indo/Pakistani, fiercely British boys to ‘crack open a cold one’ and share their views on life.
Sudha Bhuchar is an acclaimed writer and actor, currently in BBC1’s new detective series VIRDEE. She is also a middle class, middle aged, multicultural mother of millennial sons, living a ‘squeezed middle’ life. With her landmark zero birthday, comes the urge to investigate her own sense of home and place in the world. Inextricably shaped by Sudha’s cross-continental childhood, a far cry from her sons’ upbringing in leafy Wimbledon, Evening Conversations is warm hearted, humorous, and truthful storytelling.
Will her mixed heritage (Hindu/Indian and Muslim/Pakistani), fiercely British, mono-lingual sons see their background as a place of strength or an unwelcome inheritance?
Shots are fired in the quick-fire exchanges between mother and sons, forcing Sudha to take stock.
Sudha Bhuchar is Artist-in-Residence at Theatre in the Mill, commissioned by Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
