Set against the backdrop of Salford in 1971, East is East presents a gripping drama where the Khan family navigates the fragile fault line between their traditional heritage and a rapidly changing society. Performed at Salisbury Playhouse, the production explores how familial bonds can simultaneously sustain and fracture a community as they strive to define their identity. With tickets from £12.50, this forthcoming theatrical experience invites audiences to witness the intense emotional currents that hold families together and tear them apart.
Family can hold you together and tear you apart.
Salford, 1971. The Khan family are living above a chip shop and on the fault line between two cultures. George Khan is determined the family be raised his Pakistani way. His English wife, Ella, just wants to keep the peace. Their seven children? They’re busy discovering disco, denim, and defiance.
When George begins arranging marriages for his sons, rebellion erupts and loyalties are tested. What follows is a hilarious and deeply moving battle between tradition and change.
Ayub Khan-Din’s modern classic blends razor-sharp comedy with moments of shocking honesty. East Is East is a story about identity, generational conflict, and the messy, unbreakable bonds of family.
Come for the laughs. Stay for the heart.
