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 cross fire – her loyalties divided between her marriage and the free will of her children.

Starring British Comedy Award winner Pauline McLynn (Father Ted, Shameless) and Simon Nagra (Dara, Rafta Rafta), the production toured major theatres for 13 weeks in 2015.
