Lovers of poignant theater | Drama fans | Fans of Jez Butterworth

The Hills of California flits between countries and times. Set in both 1950s Blackpool and 1970s Blackpool, this production is Jez Butterworth’s commentary on the American Dream. Four sisters come back to Blackpool in 1976, to visit their dying mother. With Rob Howell’s set design mirroring the shift in decades and settings, The Hills of California showcases the literal distance in this once tight-knit family.

Premiering in London’s Harold Pinter Theater, The Hills of California has already extended its Broadway run. This poignant drama explores family bonds, making audiences wonder: what’s the price of escape?
