In Celebration

Why see In Celebration?

Anna Mackmin directs David Storey’s 1969 drama, In Celebration.   David Storey’s modern classic took audiences by storm at the Royal Court in the 1960’s and established him as one of the country's most powerful playwrights.

Three brothers - Andrew, Colin and Steven - return home to the northern roots of their childhood for a family reunion. Although they have returned to celebrate, the explosive complexities of family life and long-held grievances are unlikely to improve the chances of a decent party… Compelling and emotionally thrilling.

In Celebration is an exploration of family love and of how the consequences of best intentions can threaten to destroy treasured hopes and dreams.
