1 July – 27 September 2025
Theatre Royal Haymarket, London
This ‘sharply comic and deeply touching drama’ (Broadway World) follows a tight-knit family gathering on a scorching summer’s day to celebrate the wedding of Sylvia and Marek. But as the drinks flow and the dancing begins, love is tested, loyalties are stretched, and long-held secrets are revealed.
Hailed as ‘a wedding you’ll never forget — and a play you’ll never stop thinking about’ (Theatre Weekly), this Olivier-nominated ‘critical smash’ (WhatsOnStage) celebrates and confronts what it really means to be a family.
Written by Beth Steel (The House of Shades) and directed by Bijan Sheibani (Barber Shop Chronicles).
