Widower Hari Hobson has a successful dress-making business and three daughters. The oldest; Durga; is the brains behind the operation. Cant we choose husbands for ourselves? Ive been telling you for the last five minutes; youre not even fit to choose dresses for yourselves. But when Hobson says that Durga is too valuable to lose and must give up all idea of getting married; she takes her fate into her own hands and starts her own rival shop nearby. Tanika Guptas new version of this classic 1916 comedy sets the play in a modern day Salford Asian community; giving a new generation a chance to enjoy the plays sharp wit and charm. This version of Hobsons Choice was performed at the Young Vic; London; June - August 2003.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Expensive Ballet Book with Limited InformationBy Mary TMy husband bought this book and write the following review. I am a adult beginner ballet student and am looking for a good; solid reference book. I thought Beginning Ballet would help me. Im sorry to say this book and its web resources are disappointing. I was expecting better; more thorough information from an author who has a long career teaching ballet and has written extensively on the subject. The book itself was on par with many other instructional ballet books; though there are other better and less expensive options. I was truly disappointed in the web resources. The videos were limited and of average quality. They didnt always show proper form or show what you shouldnt do. Some of the web references were simply still photos and links to personal blog sites. Ive found more informative ballet instruction on YouTube than what is presented in this book from an educational resource and subject matter expert. You can buy the book without the web resources option. However; in my opinion; dont waste your money and shop around for better books and better videos on YouTube. If youre not sure about a resource; check with a local ballet studio or contact a professional ballet theatre or company.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Not a good value. Too general.By Mr. ChrisFor the money (mid thirties); Id expect more content. There are web resources available; but I wanted to buy an all-inclusive book; not a program where the book plays 60-70% of total content.- If their website ever gets reorganized or they ever go out of business; youll lose that part of the package.- If you buy used; youll have to shell out about half the price of the new book alone to get the web resources.- If youre reading this while travelling or waiting outside of class; you wont have a computer (or will want to bother getting one out) to look at the extra stuff.Basically; the book is not great enough to stand on its own. You can do searches to find video examples elsewhere; but at that point; why do you need the book? You might as well search for the other information youd expect to get out of this from dance blogs and wiki sites. I also found the content (again; for the price) to be too abridged and general; but it is a *beginning* ballet book.
