East Is East: A Screenplay
This play is set in Salford, in 1970, where the Khan children are buffeted this way and that by their Pakistani father's insistence on tradition, their English mother's laissez-faire, and their own wish to be citizens of the modern world.

It seems so ridiculous but it’s just too realistic, and that’s why it’s hilarious to me. I come from a Pakistani family and luckily I haven’t had to deal with my dad trying to marry me off 😂
George/Zaheer is an asshole but he literally embodies 80% of Pakistani fathers, even in this day and age. Absolutely loved this!
