About this Event
Marriage Material
“In our shops we will be Kings of England. And we will make this place our place.”
The Bains’ corner shop in Wolverhampton has been at the centre of the family for three generations.
In 1969, Mrs Bains is balancing running the business, caring for her ailing husband and the demands of her two headstrong daughters, who each have their eye on a different kind of future.
In the present day, a family tragedy pulls Arjan Bains back from a life in London. The shop represents everything he was trying to escape, but with his mother insisting it remain open, how long can he stay away?
Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti (A Kind of People) adapts the critically acclaimed novel from Sathnam Sanghera (Empireland), a sweeping family portrait directed by Iqbal Khan (East Is East).
