"You're the one with the identity crisis mum, not us!"

Acclaimed actor and writer, Sudha Bhuchar presents, Evening Conversations.

Middle class, middle aged multicultural mother of millennial sons, Sudha lives a "squeezed middle" life in Wimbledon. As she navigates her career, family and returning to India as an NRI (Non-Resident Indian), she is prompted to investigate her own sense of home and her place in the world.

This warm hearted monologue is inspired by Sudha's banter with her dual-heritage millennial sons who have grown up in leafy Wimbledon while her life has spanned three continents.

She invites her boys to 'crack open a cold one' and share their views on life. Will her fiercely British sons see their heritage as a place of strength or an unwelcome inheritance?

Dedicated to the late Philip Osment (director, writer and dramaturg) who inspired me and directed the original iteration of this show.
