las vegas of the north
During the dry, dry summer of 1976, the beaches of Blackpool are packed full of holidaymakers, the B&Bs and hotels are full to the brim and the people of Britain are lapping up the sun. Yet in the sweltering heat of the town, far from the sea and gently sloshing waves, the daughters of a guest-house owner head back to her heavily deteriorating lodge.
Olivier Nominated Excellence!
After their highly acclaimed 2017 play The Ferryman, which won multiple Olivier, Critics Circle and Evening Standard awards, playwright Jez Butterworth (Jerusalem, Spectre) reunites with director Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy, Skyfall) for The Hills of California at the Harold Pinter theatre! With huge critical acclaim and two Olivier nominations (Best New Play, Best Actress), prepare for a night of immaculate theatre.
