Happy Birthday Sunita

People always think a woman who thinks for herself, who speaks her mind is dangerous. So I didnt talk about my dreams or what was in my heart. And I was scared. Scared to let you follow your dreams. I didnt know how to. But keeping quiet didnt make my life better. It just made it lonely. The Johals are celebrating Sunitas birthday in Mums new kitchen, and youre invited to the surprise party. Its not just the dhal thats bubbling under the surface with decades of unfinished business, everyones true selves start to burst out when they least expect it. And its 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 arent 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.
