Written two decades before Trainspotting and
Snatch, Berkoff's modern classic set off a new wave of hard
hitting contemporary urban drama. Full of sex and fury, East
is a sharp, affectionate celebration of life in London's East
End. With its uncompromisingly physical performance style
and language veering from Shakespearean parody to the shatteringly
profane, East is a roller coaster of theatricality, teeming
with both visual and verbal exuberance.
