Award-winning actress Dipti Mehta’s new and acclaimed solo-show, HONOUR: Confessions of a Mumbai Courtesan visits India's red light district where we meet the eunuch, priest, pimp, mother and daughter who call it home. A fun and poignant look at the exotic, dangerous life of Mumbai's real-life brothels and why they exist. This dark tale of pursuit of truth in modern day Mumbai is a testament to survival and pride and is a mother’s gift to her only daughter.
Dipti, who was born and raised in Mumbai and currently resides in New Jersey, also stars in the show. She has numerous film and television credits including The Blacklist (NBC), and The Golden Boy (CBS).
The creative team includes sound design and original music by Matthew Bittner, set design by Bethanie Wampol Watson, lighting design by Jason Flamos, costume design by Peter Flamos, stage management by Ally Namisha and choreography by Monica Kapoor.
Mehta’s art kindles the thought process about our identities, which are eternally meandering through space and time, yet maintain their authentic core...Very few people possess the ability to turn a childhood passion into a profession. The ones who do, often go on to become extraordinary. Dipti Mehta is one such individual.” - India.com
