East is East: A Screenplay (平装)

作者简介

East is East is the hilarious and moving story of what happens when two cultures collide within one family.

 For George Khan ('Genghis' to his kids), life is an uphill struggle to get his family to conform to traditional Pakistani values. But this is Salford in the 1970s. George's wife Ella is Lancashire born, and his seven kids have got minds of their own. Tomboy Meenah prefers playing footie to wearing a sari, hippy Saleem pretends to be studying engineering when he's really at art school, heart throb Tariq has got a reputation as local Casanova, and Sajid hasn't even been circumcised yet.

 With one disastrous arranged marriage in the family already, George plots to bring his next two sons into line by marrying them off to the daughters of Mr Shah. When the Khan kids begin to oppose their father's petty tyrannies, Ella is forced to make a choice between her husband and the right of her children to make their own ways in the world. 

 Ayub Khan-Din's screenplay is based on his award-winning play of the same title. East is East is his writing debut, but he has acted in various productions, including Sammy and Rosie Get Laid and the TV series London Bridge.  --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
