Overview
“Madhuri’s fierce, witty, observant, intelligent and original voice is loud and clear…she has exceptional talent for creating universally relatable stories with authenticity and compassion.” —Chay Yew, former artistic director of Victory Gardens Theater
This two-play volume offers but a taste of what Madhuri Shekar has to offer as a playwright on the rise.
In Dhaba on Devon Avenue, we're thrust into the dynamic of a family-run Indian restaurant. A staple of its Chicago neighborhood since the ’80s, Dhaba Canteen's offerings are as authentic Sindhi as it gets. But with the bank bearing down on head chef Neeraj, and his health in decline, his daughter Rita faces the ultimate obstacle: convincing her immigrant father that change (in the kitchen and elsewhere) can be a good thing.
In Antigone, Presented by the Girls of St. Catherine's, the titular school has decided to revive its drama club by putting up Sophocles's classic play. But as weeks of rehearsal go by, the drama seeps off the stage and into the lives of students and teachers alike. Do the girls stand up for what's right, or look the other way so the show goes off without a hitch?
