East is East Résumé

East is East Ayub Khan Din

The play that gave birth to the smash-hit film - a wonderful comedy about growing up in multiracial Salford.

Pakistani chip-shop owner George Khan - 'Genghis' to his kids - is determined to give his six children a strict Muslim upbringing against the unforgiving backdrop of 1970s Salford. Household tensions reach breaking point as their long-suffering English mother, Ella, gets caught in the crossfire - her loyalty divided between her marriage and the free will of her children.

Ayub Khan Din's 'astonishingly assured first play' (Bimingham Post) premiered in 1996, in a co-production between Tamasha Theatre Company, Birmingham Rep and the Royal Court. The film adaptation that followed, with a screenplay by the author, became one of the most successful British films ever made.

This edition contains a revised version of the play first performed at the Trafalgar Studios, London, in October 2014, in a Jamie Lloyd production featuring Ayub Khan Din as George and Jane Horrocks as Ella.
