Set in the 1970s, this British comedy-drama tells of an Anglo-Pakistani family that is thrown into chaos when the modern-minded children refuse to submit to arranged marriages. The Khan children, caught between the traditional dogmatism of their Pakistani father (Puri) and laissez-faire attitude of their British mother (Bassett), face a lot of difficulties to follow their dreams of becoming citizens of the modern world. East Is East is written by Ayub Khan-Din, who has adapted To Sir, With Love, which can be seen on stage at Royal & Derngate this September.
