As the indomitable Granny Ummi she terrified the guests visiting The Kumars at Number 42. She’s topped the pop charts, been a Professor at Oxford, and written a musical with Andrew Lloyd Webber. She’s a Dame, a screenwriter, and the first British Asian novelist to enter the national curriculum. Young Meera always had the stories. Now she has the stage.From the wisdom her mother and aunties dispensed her grandfather’s attempts to arrange her marriage, her working life as an actress and writer, her journey to motherhood, and the changing attitudes towards women she has experienced over her career, Meera will share all. Funny, painful, and completely honest, this evening will stay with you long after.
