| Description: | Select Guide Rating People always think a woman who thinks for herself, who speaks her mind is dangerous. So I didn’t talk about my dreams or what was in my heart. And I was scared. Scared to let you follow your dreams. I didn’t know how to. But keeping quiet didn’t make my life better. It just made it lonely. The Johals are celebrating Sunita’s birthday in Mum’s new kitchen, and you’re invited to the surprise party. It’s not just the dhal that’s bubbling under the surface – with decades of unfinished business, everyone’s true selves start to burst out when they least expect it. And it’s up to the family to pick each other back up and celebrate themselves for who they truly are. Unexpected guests, butter-free roti and skeletons in the cupboard aren’t enough to stop them busting out some classic Punjabi shapes in the kitchen! Join the Johal family for a wild ride that will leave you laughing, crying, and talking all the way home. Put on your birthday party finery and get ready for a samosa saga, by writer and actress Harvey Virdi (Bend It Like Beckham, Coronation Street, Hollyoaks, Citizen Khan). This edition was published to coincide with the Rifco Theatre Company UK tour in April 2023. People always think a woman who thinks for herself, who speaks her mind is dangerous.
