On the night of her 80th birthday, legendary actress Vivienne Blackwood gathers the family at her grand old country home.
As the champagne flows and the songs are sung, it becomes clear that tonight will be no ordinary gathering.
The family fractures emerge, their beliefs are brought into question, and the real reason they’ve been invited becomes clear.
Tonight is a celebration of a lifetime.
With biting wit, theatrical flair and unexpected tenderness, this major new play by Morna Young is an unflinching, darkly humorous exploration of personal freedoms and life-defining choices.
Idea conceived by Alex Fthenakis and Morna Young.
Presented by Traverse Theatre, in co-production with Paines Plough and the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.
