Unapologetically Indian, irreverently American. The Elephant in the Room is a funny, tumultuous ride through immiscible cultures, love and loss, issues of race and the desperation of not belonging anywhere. The play navigates Priyanka's real-life journey as she transitions from her deeply embedded roots in India, to finding context and common ground in America. Standing room only at The Kennedy Center. 2020 Broadway World US Award winner for Best Play of the Decade and Best Performer of the Decade. 'Well-written show, nicely calibrated humour... she's a performer to watch' (MDTheatreGuide.com). 'Amusing, relatable... incisive' (TVJerry.com).

Priyanka Shetty interview

The Elephant in the Room is an autobiographical one-woman show that navigates my real-life journey as I transition from deeply embedded roots in India to finding context and common ground in America.
