Summer 1976 is the driest in 200 years, and in Blackpool the beaches are heaving. Every hotel is booked up, and it’s a glorious day out for holidaymakers and locals. But in the sweltering, close backstreets, where choc ices and donkey rides seem worlds away, the Webb Sisters have reunited. They are on their way to their dying mother’s run-down guest house for a final meeting.Creative Team

Jez Butterworth is a multi-award-winning playwright who wrote Jerusalem, widely claimed to be one of the greatest plays of the 21st century. His other works include The Ferryman and Mojo.For his latest play, Butterworth resumes his partnership with Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes (American Beauty; Skyfall), whose stage credits include epic historical play The Lehman Trilogy. The pair previously collaborated on The Ferryman, which was the fastest-selling show in the Royal Court Theatre’s history and a runaway success in London and on Broadway.

A play set in Blackpool? Count me in! This was an amazing play, we were absolutely hooked from the opening to the very last line. Deals with sibling relationships, parental care and abuse. 100% will see again
Hills Of California is something very different, it's a stark and at times hard watch.. brilliantly directed and performed with some very tough and current issues dealt with. Quite frankly a rollercoaster of emotions - with some unexpected twists Read more
Lots of wit and incredible performances. Really enjoyed this play despite it having a somewhat stunted storyline, but sometimes theatre can just be enjoyed rather than need to be extremely existential.
