by Beth Steel Presented by The Gallery Players
It’s Sylvia and Marek’s wedding.
Over the course of a hot summer’s day, a family gathers to welcome a newcomer into their midst. But as the vodka flows and the guests hit the dance floor, passions boil over, long held secrets emerge and the limits of love are tested.The world is changing and nothing will ever be the same again.
Beth Steel’s heart-breaking and hilarious portrayal of a larger-than- life family in a former mining town, struggling to come terms with a changing world opened at The National Theatre to huge acclaim in January 2024 and transferred to the Theatre Royal, Haymarket in 2025.
‘A blistering comedy, full of the deepest, saddest truths about life and love. It’s Chekhov on Heineken – reaching the parts other plays don’t reach….Utterly unmissable.’ What’s on Stage
‘Brilliantly observed. It’s often deliriously funny but it also has a stabbing sense of insoluble pain. Every detail registers and resonates.’ Daily Telegraph
‘A modern classic.’ The Times
