Overview

• The play has transferred from the National Theatre’s Dorfman auditorium to the Theatre Royal Haymarket and retained its intimate energy in a larger West End setting.
• Bijan Sheibani’s fluid direction and Samal Blak’s minimalistic design—anchored by a solitary glitterball and patch of artificial turf—heighten the production’s theatrical impact.
• Sinéad Matthews, Lucy Black, Aisling Loftus and Julian Kostov lead an ensemble praised for blending uproarious comedy with moments of profound emotion.
• Beth Steel’s script uses Sylvia’s wedding in Mansfield to probe class tensions, deindustrialisation and the complexities of cultural integration.
• Tickets for the production are on sale through September 27 at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, where the play continues its acclaimed run.
