£15 Tickets For Trafalgar Transformed's EAST IS EAST On Sale Tomorrow!

Jamie Lloyd Productions' Trafalgar Transformed production of East is East, running from this Saturday 4 October at Trafalgar Studios, will release its initial batch of £15 Monday tickets on Wednesday 1 October from 10.00am. Tickets can be purchased via the box office in person or online (2 tickets per person per booking) 24 hours only. The dates on sale will be 13, 20, 27 October and 3 November, and will include every seat in the entire auditorium.

In conjunction with the ticket release on Wednesday 1 October, for all those who queue at the box office there will be complimentary coffee, croissants and live music from the Camden-based band Pocketclub.

East is East stars the multi award-winning stage and screen star Jane Horrocks (Young Vic's Annie Get Your Gun, Sunshine on Leith, The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice, Absolutely Fabulous) as Ella and the award-winning playwright Ayub Khan Din himself, as George.

Pakistani chip-shop owner George Khan - "Genghis" to his kids - is determined to give his children a strict Muslim upbringing against the unforgiving backdrop of 1970s Salford. Household tension reaches breaking point as their long-suffering English mother, Ella, gets caught in the crossfire.

East is East, Ayub Khan Din's semi-autobiographical account of British Asian life in the 1970s and the clash of cultures between a multi-cultural family growing up in Salford, is a play that continues to resonate and provoke discussion. The play will be directed by acclaimed director Sam Yates, following Richard III (starring Martin Freeman), as part of Artistic Director Jamie Lloyd's exciting second season for Trafalgar Transformed. The production runs from 4 October 2014 to 3 January 2015, with press night on 15 October. Design is by Tom Scutt, lighting by Richard Howell, with sound and music by Alex Baranowski.

Amit Shah (Abdul Khan), Ashley Kumar (Tariq Khan), Darren Kuppan (Maneer Khan), Nathan Clarke (Saleem Khan), Taj Atwal (Meenah Khan) and Michael Karim (Sajit Khan) complete the casting of the Khan family, and are joined by Sally Bankes (Auntie Annie), Rani Moorthy (Mrs. Shah) and Hassani Shapi (Mr Shah/Doctor) to

complete the cast.
