Ayub Khan Din’s ‘East is East’ is a look into a the cross-cultural relationship between English and Pakistani culture within a family who migrated to Salford. It explores strict Muslim religion and how it is enforced or resisted by the 7 children within the family. My experience with the play is not particularly allowing for a neutral review as I read the entire thing before my lecture on it in the form of a two man show, each covering 4-5 characters, and the entertainment that provided has defiantly elevated my experience with and opinion on the play. It is however highly problematic, there is frequent swearing, domestic abuse, arranged marriage being enforced and racially offensive terminology, all used in a means to convey a comedy in some manners. Overall it was enjoyable though extremely flawed.
