Synopsis: | Originally written by Harold Brighouse in 1916 the story revolved around Henry Horatio Hobson, his three daughters and his struggle to run his boot making business whilst still maintaining control over his increasingly strong willed girls. In Tanika Gupta's brilliant adaptation the story remains the same but the harassed widower is Hari Hobson who lives in Salford with his three daughters Ruby, Sunita and Durga. His dress-making business is doing very well, until he makes the mistake of informing Durga (his eldest daughter and the brains behind the business) that she has to give up all idea of ever getting married and leaving the family.The incensed Durga turns the tables on her father by marrying Hari's best tailor, Ali Mossop, and setting up their own rival shop. With her fate firmly in her own hands Durga faces the tough decision of fighting against her father, or finding a way to join forces. | |||||
