Written by and starring Ayub Khan Din (My Beautiful Laundrette, East is East) alongside multi-award winning Jane Horrocks (Sunshine on Leith, Little Voice, Life is Sweet, Absolutely Fabulous).
An hilarious modern classic about growing up in multiracial England. Pakistani chip-shop owner George Khan (Ayub Khan Din) is determined to give his children a strict Muslim upbringing against the unforgiving backdrop of 1970s Salford. Household tension reaches breaking point as their long-suffering English mother, Ella (Jane Horrocks), gets caught in the cross fire – her loyalties divided between her marriage and the free will of her children.
Recommended age for content 12+ due to mild language. Entry for younger is at parent's discretion.

Recent Ticket Tuesday winner Caroline Hanks-Farmer saw the revival of East Is East at the Trafalgar Studios, which is part of Season Two of Trafalgar Transformed. Here are her thoughts on the show.
