Woman Business is a bold and intimate one-woman play about identity, belonging, and what it means to be a brown woman. A story of what we inherit, what we outgrow, and what we finally claim as our own.

The play follows Diya a woman shaped by inherited rituals and the expectations placed upon her as she moves between cultures, roles and generations of memory.

Diya has spent her life carrying the traditions and expectations passed down through the women before her. Through childhood prayers, marriage, migration, grief and myth, she begins to unravel the many versions of herself daughter, wife, widow, believer, rebel goddess.

As the stories of her foremothers echo through her own life, Diya confronts the roles she has been taught to play. With humour, tenderness and raw honesty, it asks a simple but urgent question: what happens when a woman finally begins to speak in her own voice?
