LIMELIGHT CREATIVE ARTS & COLORS bring together ‘Starlite’ Season 4, another year of magical theatre and a musical odyssey with an enthralling performance by Suchitra Krishnamoorthi as she mesemerizes the audiences with her biographical play Drama Queen to be staged on Saturday, 9th of April 2022 at the Hyatt Regency Ballroom Lucknow.
A slice of life peppered with humour, the play is a complete emotional roller coaster based on her memoir, rewriting the boundaries of womanhood.
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi is an actor, writer, singer, painter, candlestick-maker! A successful debut Bollywood film with mega star Shah Rukh Khan, marriage with an internationally renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, a pop album with music by Andrew Lloyd Weber….Walking the red carpet at the Oscars…What more could any young girl with stars in her eyes aspire to?
Wicked, over the top, irrepressibly funny, yet also vulnerable and dark, Drama Queen is a fictionalized memoir supported by a fine cast of some India’s finest actors and personalities in voice over roles, that will make you laugh, cry, and look at the modern Indian woman in a whole new light.
Suchitra 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. Now a single mother suffering the crippling effects of ‘Aphallatosis’ – a rare mental disorder in frantic search for the happy-ever-after of true love and twin babies, Suchitra finds herself being pushed in all the wrong directions by shrewd analysts, horny canines, pushy gal-pals, and men who are either unsuitable, unwilling, or just plain terrified. The play, woven into her experience on the eventful years post her divorce from Shekhar Kapur, brings out questions on the changing ways of Indian culture and beliefs.
THE PLAY IS OF 80 MINS AND DIRECTED BY RANDHIR ROY
