Description
A deeply emotional comedy drama from the author of East is East, exploring the relationships we have with our roots, and with those that we love but don't always understand.
Bonfire Night. Salford, 2002. A disparate group of warring siblings gather at the family home under the shadow of impending loss.
Amidst the cut and thrust of spiky Salford banter, long harboured resentments rise to the surface, and loyalties are tested as family bonds unite and divide, unravel and unwind.
All the Way Home premiered at the Lowry in Salford in 2011.
'Khan-Din is writing from first-hand experience... he has plainly retained an ear for salty Salfordian speech... and there are some terrific one-liners' - Telegraph
