THE critically-acclaimed East is East is coming to the Grand Opera House in York next month as part of a national tour.
Starring award-winning actress Pauline McLynn, who has appeared in Father Ted, Shameless and EastEnders, as Ella, and a host some of Britain's finest acting talent completing the Khan family and friends, this critically-acclaimed production of a modern comedy classic promises to be unmissable.
Pakistani chip shop owner George Khan - "Genghis" to his kids - is determined to give his children a strict Muslim upbringing in 1970s Salford. Household tension reaches breaking point as their long-suffering English mother, Ella, gets caught in the cross fire - her loyalties divided between her marriage and the free will of her children.
East is East, Ayub Khan Din’s semi-autobiographical account of British Asian life in the 1970s and the clash of cultures between a multi-cultural family growing up in Salford, is a play that continues to resonate and provoke discussion.
East is East is at the Grand Opera House, in York, from Monday, August 3 to Saturday, August 8. To book, phone 0844 871 3024 or go to atgtickets.com/york
