Irrepressibly irreverent Drama Queen is an irresistibly honest biography that will make you laugh, cry and look at the modern Indian woman in a whole new light. The monologue is based on the 2013 best seller - a first person memoir by Suchitra Krishnamoorthi. The book received rave reviews, with the first print of the manuscript being sold out within a week from its release date. A successful debut Bollywood film with mega star Shah Rukh Khan, marriage with an internationally renowned film maker Shekhar Kapur, a pop album with music by Andrew Lloyd Weber, walking the red carpet at the Oscars; Actor, Singer, Painter, Writer. What more could any young girl with stars in her eyes aspire to? And yet ... In her candid, wacky, madcap biography, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi takes us on a rollercoaster period of her life, 5 years post marriage and divorce. This was no longer the world of propriety that any culture would prescribe for a woman... A single mother, stuck in the quagmire of her strict middle class moral upbringing, Suchitra hurtles, chugs and summersaults on a rollercoaster journey in a desperate bid to find security and true love. In the process rediscovering her relationship with her mother, her past and most importantly herself. Emerging with a new voice long suppressed and lost under the perplexing burdens of conforming to being “I’m a good girl “to “I am”!
