‘There’s no place like Bradford. Once you’re here, you don’t want to go anywhere else.’
Join us for a script-in-hand reading of “It’s Our Time”, a new work-in-progress by Sudha Bhuchar, Artist in Residence with Bradford 2025 and Theatre in The Mill.
A self-confessed ‘magpie’, Sudha’s storytelling draws from everyday encounters and verbatim testimony. Following in the spirit of her acclaimed solo show Evening Conversations, she has gathered inspiration from across Bradford: sharing chai on an allotment, joining Tai Chi and well-being sessions at Women’s Zone and Lister Mills, sitting in the back of a taxi, and talking to male nursing students.
This emerging work features interwoven testimony and fiction, performed by a cast of five, including Peter Singh, Madiha Ansari, and Sudha Bhuchar herself, followed by an informal Q&A and opportunity to share feedback. The performance will last approximately one hour.
Sudha was recently honoured with the 2025 Sophiya Haque Award at the Asians in Media Awards for her outstanding contribution to television, film, and theatre.
Sudha kicks off BD2025 City of Culture sessions with the Commonweal Collection.
Our Fragment to Fiction workshops start Wed 12 Nov, 12PM – turning peace archives into new stories for change – see listing for further details.
