Thursday – Fabric 2
The Rivals of Pinner
A rakish trust fund kid, a curry sauce heiress-turned woke justice warrior and her social climber Aunt collide in a fast faced whirl of false identities, romantic longing and fake online profiles, all quietly orchestrated by seemingly demure dogsbody Lakshmi. But Lakshmi, who has come over from India to marry the spoilt son of the house, has a secret agenda: to reclaim the curry sauce empire built on her father’s stolen recipe. As she waits in the wings she will rinse these romantic fools for everything they’re worth, until everyone is unmasked. A sassy, deși retelling of Sheridan’s “The Rivals”.
