Jane Horrocks returns to the West End in this dark comedy of racial and cultural expectations in 1970's Salford!
Jane Horrocks stars alongside Ayub Khan Din in this stage adaptation of the 1999 hit film. Against the grim backdrop 1970s Salford, a British-Pakistani family come close to disaster whilst straddling the cultures of two worlds. As their devout father presses them towards the Muslim faith, the boys have other ideas. Horrocks plays their thoroughly fed-up English mother, caught between loyalty to her husband and free will for their children. Ayub Khan Din, authored the original film and now this stage adaptation, with the added benefit of starring as the well-intentioned George.
Unbeknownst to him, his children are rebelling - albeit on the quiet side - as not to anger "Genghis". As the boys act out more and more by smoking, partying and meeting girls, his English wife Ella forsees a coming storm as she is caught in the crossfire of wanting to support her husband, and wanting her children to have full autonomy, away from cultural expectations.
