The Family Reunion
Why see The Family Reunion?
T.S. Eliot Festival
The Donmar will stage THE FAMILY REUNION as the centrepiece of this landmark Festival which celebrates one of the greatest literary figures of the 20th century.
After eight years absence, Harry returns to the ancestral home to celebrate his mother's birthday. Tormented by a dark secret, he confides in Aunt Agatha only to discover that the family too has its own hidden demons.
T.S. Eliot's poetic and powerful tale of sin and redemption reveals a family haunted by the ghosts of their past.
