Evening Conversations

Book Now

Full of truth and beauty…really brave’ – Riz Ahmed

Acclaimed local writer and star of Amazon Prime’s EXPATs and Mary Poppins Returns, Sudha Bhuchar brings her solo show Evening Conversations, and more to Tara Theatre in celebration of South Asian Heritage Month, Wandsworth.

Inspired by Sudha’s banter with her millennial / Gen Z, dual heritage (Hindu/Indian and Muslim/Pakistani) sons, Evening Conversations is a humorous and truthful 70 mins of storytelling that crosses ages and cultures. Sudha invites her boys to ‘crack open a cold one’ and share their views on life.

‘You’re the one with the identity crisis mum, not us!’, they declare.

Will her 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.

Evening Conversations has wide intergenerational appeal and engages many diverse audiences. This joyful monologue invites you to carry on the conversation after….

Please note our 5PM performance of Evening Conversations will include an additional sharing from participants in Bhuchar Boulevard’s Conversation Circles.

As funny a show as it is insightful. Disarmingly Charming’ – The Reviews Hub

‘Bhuchar radiates knowledge, warmth and real likability’ – The Guardian

‘Subtle blending of the personal and the political. Gently caustic…beautiful and moving’ – The Stage

‘Insightful, charming, funny” – Sir Lenny Henry

Bhuchar Boulevard’s projects like Child of the Divide and Touchstone Tales hold up a mirror to our common humanity. Founder Sudha and associate Suman Bhuchar’s encounter with Jatinder Verma, founder of Tara Theatre, changed their lives. Sudha’s collaboration with his successor, the late Abdul Shayek on the acclaimed Final Farewell will always be memorable.

Bhuchar Boulevard and Tara Theatre continue to amplify the voices and stories of South Asian artists.

Dedicated to Philip Osment, my friend and mentor (March 1st 1953 – May 24th 2019)
