East Is East, Trafalgar Studios, review: Jane Horrocks is terrific in Khan Din's comedy
There are few plays that manage to be so delightful and discomfiting at the same time as East Is East. Ayub Khan Din's wonderfully vivacious and penetrating autobiographical comedy about growing up as the youngest child in a large, chip-shop-owning Salford family with an English mother and a despotic Pakistani father started life in 1996 at the Royal Court and was made into a popular film three years later.
