A Theatre Royal Production Directed by Ben Barnes
Because you can’t choose your family...
‘Ben Barnes’s production for Theatre Royal counterpoints Stephenson’s comedy and poignancy with a command that is not easily forgotten.’ - Irish Times
‘The play offers a superb mix of wild humour and bruising emotion.’ - The Daily Telegraph
‘Blessedly and mercurially funny’ - The Guardian
Three sisters come together in a highly charged atmosphere on the eve of their mother's funeral. With a storm raging outside they laugh and cry, rage and bicker as the conflicts of the past and their hold on the present are mercilessly exposed. This searing comedy exposes the patterns and strains of family life in a close-to-the-bone familiar way.
