Croydon, 1997. Henrik and Matthew haven't gone round with a damp cloth for several years. Jessica is about to become a Blair babe. Then an unexpected ring at the door-bell precipitates a chain-reaction of discoveries and confessions. For idealistic Communist Henrik, his house-bound son Matthew and his politically ambitious daughter Jessica, a life-time built on secrets and half-truths is about to come tumbling down. The events of the last forty years ? from Henrik's days packing light-bulbs on the factory floor of United Incandescent, to the fall of the Wall, to the arrival of the mysterious Anna from Budapest ? all conspire to tell a different story from the one that Henrik has carefully constructed in his memoirs . . . with extraordinary consequences for his children. A passionate, quirky and epic family drama about love, loyalty, lies and the Left. Part of The Spill season - The Spill brings you your monthly dose of the freshest new work from the creme de la cr?me of contemporary writers. Throw in the most dauntless of directors, the deftest of actors, a day of rigorous rehearsal and a post-show Q&A, and you're sure to go home stirred, stimulated and satisfied.| 13 Sep 15 | Old Red Lion Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
