The Invitations Have Been Sent Out
The National Theatre’s smash-hit production Till the Stars Come Down is in rehearsal for its West End transfer. Written by former National Theatre writer-in-residence, Beth Steel, this critically acclaimed production tells of Sylvia and Marek’s wedding and you’re all invited.
Over the course of a hot summer’s day, a family gathers to welcome a newcomer into their midst. But as the vodka flows and dances are shared, passions boil over and the limits of love are tested. What happens when the happiest day of your life opens the door to a new and uncertain future?
Dorothy Atkinson as Aunty Carol, Lucy Black as Hazel, Adrian Bower as John, Julian Kostov as Marek, Aisling Loftus as Maggie, Sinéad Matthews as Sylvia, Ruby Thompson as Leanne, Philip Whitchurch as Uncle Pete and Alan Williams as Tony.
Directed by Bijan Sheibani, Till the Stars Come Down was originally commissioned by the National Theatre and developed with the theatre’s New Work department whilst Steel was writer-in-residence (2019-2021). It had its world premiere on 31 January 2024 in the Dorfman Theatre and was Steel’s debut play at the National Theatre running until 16 March. Following a sold-out run, Till the Stars Come Down was nominated for ‘Best New Play’ at the 2024 Olivier Awards.
Theatre Royal Haymarket, Haymarket, London, SW1Y 4HT from 1 July – Saturday 27 September.
