Till the Stars Come Down
at the Theatre Royal Haymarket
by Beth Steel
a co-production with Eleanor Lloyd Productions, Fiery Angel, Short Street Productions and Access Entertainment
Our smash-hit, sold-out production transfers to the West End this summer for a strictly limited 13-week run.
It’s Sylvia and Marek’s wedding and you’re all invited. 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 dances are shared, passions boil over and the limits of love are tested.
This ‘utterly unmissable theatrical event’ (WhatsOnStage), written by Beth Steel (The House of Shades) and directed by Bijan Sheibani (Barber Shop Chronicles), is a passionate, heartbreaking and ‘deliriously funny’ (Telegraph) portrayal of a larger-than-life family.
What happens when the happiest day of your life opens the door to a new and uncertain future?
Don’t miss the West End premiere of Till The Stars Come Down at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 1 July.
