What is the play Relics about?
After the death of their mother, four siblings must come home to sift through the detritus of her life. They include bossy, bulldozing Liv, who constantly micromanages her siblings, people-pleaser Rob, who just wants them all to just get along for once, and the fed-up Michelle, who is sick of playing nice and walking on eggshells around her family's fragile egos. And when the prodigal son, Jonny, unexpectedly returns, he seems more determined than ever to push everyone’s buttons.
Though the siblings return to their family home with the intention of dividing up their mother’s belongings, what they unearth there will challenge everything they thought they knew about themselves and one another. As explosive secrets come to light, the family are set to lose everything - including their dignity.
This production marks the play's world premiere. Secure your tickets today!
