Suchitra Krishnamoorthi to stage solo play ‘Drama Queen Refreshed’

Team L&M

The musical play Drama Queen Refreshed is all set to revive theatrical experiences for audiences, as Suchitra Krishnamoorthi stages her solo play in the National Capital Region – on June 4 at kamani Auditorium and June 5 at Epicentre, Gurugram. The solo play is based on the bestselling novel Suchitra, who has also written and performed it.

The actor dips in and out of her life, taking us on a hormone-driven period, five years post-marriage, divorce, fame and everything that a girl could possibly want – to the present. The play, woven into her experience on the eventful years post her divorce from Director Shekhar Kapur, brings out questions on the changing ways of Indian culture and beliefs.

A slice of life peppered with humor, the play is about the struggles of a single mother trying to find herself. Wicked, over the top, irrepressibly funny, yet also vulnerable and dark, Drama Queen Refreshed will make you laugh, cry, and look at the modern Indian woman in a whole new light.

In this solo performance, Suchitra has used voice actors, some of India’s fine talents such as Sujata Kumar, Suchitra Pillai and Arif Zakaraia, who have lent their voices and are her co-actors, though you do not see them physically on stage.

“Performing solo is challenging as also exhilarating. To hold the audience’s attention all alone for over an hour needs a lot of preparation and confidence,” says Suchitra, who also turns producer with this play. “Turning producer is a new experience. a totally different ball game. Here I am literally putting my money where my mouth is. I find myself constantly checking ticket sales and collections,” she adds.
