Championing Queer Stories, On Stage and Off
From Mumbai & Delhi to Everywhere Else: Cock Hits the Road!
You might know Shweta Tripathi from her awesome roles on screen, but guess what? She’s taking her talent to the stage – and with a play that’s seriously making waves. Her play, Cock (yep, that’s the title!), is hitting cities all over India after killing it in Mumbai and Delhi during Pride Month. And get this – the tour is planned all the way into 2026!
Cock, produced by her own company, AllMyTea, isn’t your average play. It dives headfirst into exploring identity, love, and how fluid sexuality really is. It’s sparking conversations that need to happen about queer representation in Indian theatre.
“Let’s Keep the Queer Conversation Going All Year Round!”
Shweta’s not about limiting Pride to just one month of the year, and we love her for it.
As she puts it, “Queer stories aren’t seasonal—they’re human stories. Being an ally means showing up every day. I’m proud to take this play to more cities and continue the conversation.”
But Wait, There’s More: A Queer Love Story on Film!
As if conquering the stage wasn’t enough, Shweta’s also stepping into the world of film production! She’s working on a queer love story that’s all about bringing underrepresented voices into the spotlight. Talk about a power move!
A Career Built on Telling Stories That Matter
Shweta’s always been one to take on roles that push boundaries, from tackling mental health to exploring gender identity. Cock is just the latest example of how she’s using her platform to make a real difference.
With a national tour in full swing and a film in the works, Shweta Tripathi is proving that storytelling can be a force for good – making the world more inclusive and sparking change, one story at a time. We’re here for it!
