An award-winning actor/playwright, Sudha Bhuchar, established Bhuchar Boulevard to produce heartfelt, memorable theatre for multiple and diverse audiences by holding up a mirror to our common humanity. Its inaugural show, Child of the Divide, about the Partition of India seen through the eyes of children, was shortlisted for the Eastern Eye, Arts & Cultural Award and won Best Stage Production at the Asian Media Awards, 2018. Sudha received the Tongues on Fire Flame Award 2018 for her contribution to Stage and Television.

Sudha’s evolving practice of capturing verbatim conversations as a journey into writing also informed the moving evocation of pandemic loss, love and resilience, Final Farewell (Tara Theatre, 2021). This reflective and collaborative audio promenade performance honouring the losses people have experienced during Covid premiered at Tara Theatre and has since played at Brighton Fringe, Queens Theatre Hornchurch and Greenwich and Docklands Festival.

Sudha has worked professional as an actor for over three decades and her credits include appearing in Riz Ahmed’s Oscar (‘Best Live Action’) winning short film The Long Goodbye, directed by Aneil Karia and in Mogul Mowgli directed by Bassam Tariq.

Other credits include Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns, Ben Wheatley’s Happy New Year Colin Burstead, After Love by Aleem Khan and Into Dust by Orlando Von Einsiedel. She appeared on television in Rules of the Game (a BBC thriller about toxic work politics) and a short film Trinity, directed by Hetain Patel. Her latest appearance in the film Mum and Me, directed by Maninderpal Sahota has won the “Best UK Short Film” at the London International Short Film Festival.

Theatre credits include: The Village (Theatre Royal Stratford East, 2018), Lions and Tigers (Globe Theatre, 2017) and Khandan (Royal Court/Birmingham Rep, 2014).

Sudha along with her colleague Kristine Landon-Smith, is the co-founder of the ground-breaking theatre company TAMASHA, and their landmark work includes the adaptation of Rohinton Mistry‘s novel A Fine Balance and the award-winning musical Fourteen Songs, Two Weddings and a Funeral. The duo were received Eastern Eye’s ACTA Award 2019 for their significant contribution to the Arts.

Evening Conversations is part of a collection of work, written by Sudha Bhuchar and produced by her acclaimed theatre company Bhuchar Boulevard that explores aspects of family life, friendship, transition, grief, identity, and connection. These intimate works include Touchstone Tales, an exploration of the theme of ‘touch’ with communities in Bury Park Luton and the forthcoming Artichoke Hearts, an adaptation of Sita Brahmachari’s award-winning multicultural coming of age novel.
