THE chaotic Khan family have arrived in Bradford, for a week-long run of acclaimed drama East is East.
Ayub Khan Din's semi-autobiographical play is at the Alhambra on a UK tour, following a hit West End run.
REVIEW: BELLY LAUGHS AND HEARTACHE AS FAMILY CHARACTERS SHINE IN EAST IS EAST
Starring Pauline McLynn, who shot to fame as housekeeper Mrs Doyle in popular sitcom Father Ted and has also appeared in TV's Shameless and EastEnders, the comedy drama looks at British Asian life and the clash of cultures within a mixed race family growing up in Salford.
Pakistani chip shop owner George Khan 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, gets caught in the crossfire; her loyalties divided between her marriage and the free will of her children.
East is East runs until Saturday.
