The Hills of California

Why see The Hills of California?

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. Jez Butterworth's new masterpiece, which recently had a run in the West End and earned an Olivier nomination for Best New Play, is set to transfer to Broadway. Performances will start at the Broadhurst Theatre on Wednesday, September 11, with the official opening night scheduled for September 29.

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. With huge critical acclaim and two Olivier nominations (Best New Play, Best Actress), prepare for a night of immaculate theatre.
