Co-commissioned by Neal Street and Sonia Friedman Productions, The Hills of California, reunites Jez Butterworth and Sam Mendes once again following their multi-award-winning theatre triumph, The Ferryman.
After a successful, sell-out West End run in early 2024, the show transferred to Broadway at the end of 2024 where it performed an extended season to huge critical acclaim including being awarded the New York Times' Critics Pick.
“What is a song? A song is a dream... a place to be. Somewhere you can live. And in that place, there are no walls. No boundaries. No locks. No keys. You can go anywhere...”
In the sweltering heat of a 1970s summer, the Webb sisters return to their childhood home in Blackpool, an English seaside town, where their mother Veronica lies dying upstairs. Gloria and Ruby now have families of their own. Jill never left. And Joan? No one’s heard from her in twenty years… but Jill insists that their mother’s favorite won’t let them down this time.
A co-production between Neal Street and Sonia Friedman Productions.
