EAST IS EAST

A GRADUATION PRODUCTION

8 - 20 October 2009 | Parade Space

Ayub Khan-Din | dir. Kristine Landon-Smith

EAST IS EAST by Ayub Khan Din was a landmark when it was first produced in 1996. The production pioneered the cross over of British Asian theatre into the mainstream and the original production was remounted several times finally finding its way to the Duke of Yorks in London's West End. Set in Salford in the 1970's this hilarious yet emotionally tender and politically inflamed family drama explores the lives of the Khan children caught between their Pakistani father's insistence on tradition and their Mancunian mother's laissez- faire attitude to parenting. When the two older sons are faced with the prospect of arranged marriages George Khan, their father finally has to face the fact that his kids may not be the obedient Pakistani children he wants them to be.
