Much drama and the heartbreak of two people who should never have looked at each other.
Prologue
Two gang lords, consumed with bitterest hate (In Crawford Market, where we lay our scene), The day: Diwali, nineteen-fifty-eight: Stallholders are threatened with acts obscene. Feuding local lads exhort “protection” In a clash for hafta ’twixt rival dons; Two, born from their loins, form attraction, Eyes meet and hearts beat o’er the cobblestones. Alas, the fruit is doubly forbidden, She’s a Muslim, his religion’s Hindu; Star-crossed lovers, who, so sweetly smitten Entwine their souls, stirring grudges anew. A tale of sorrow, heartbreak and dismay Now inspires our Dishoom Borough café.
