Shika Budhoo stars in Roti Queen - a bold one-woman play blending comedy, storytelling, and movement through a South African Indian lens. Amrita, a Durban wife & mother, prepares rotis for her 19th anniversary dinner as memory, music, and emotion unfold in her kitchen. Set to the pulse of Bollywood, she navigates marriage, identity, and selfhood, slipping between voices and generations. Featuring live roti-making on stage, the production becomes a sensory, immersive experience-intimate, humorous, and deeply resonant.
Behind the jokes, gossip, and flour-dusted charm, Amrita is quietly turning inward, sifting through the choices that have shaped her life and the woman she has become.
