Curtains
This specific production does not yet have a description, but the play itself does:
“The family gather at Ida’s house to celebrate her 86th birthday. At the height of the party Susan, Ida’s youngest and estranged daughter, arrives unexpectedly. This is the prelude to an extraordinary event which changes the lives of everyone present. This powerful and very funny new play has been specially commissioned by Hampstead Theatre from Stephen Bill, winner of the prestigious John Whiting Award.” – original flyer copy, 1987
