Following their multi-award-winning triumph, The Ferryman, Jez Butterworth and Sam Mendes return to the West End to bring you The Hills of California, which will play at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre from 27 January to 15 June 2024.

Casting for the production will be announced in due course.

This house. It’s called ‘Sea View’. It’s just I’ve looked out of every window, and you can’t. You can’t see the sea.

Blackpool, 1976. The driest summer in 200 years. The beaches are packed. The hotels are heaving. In the sweltering backstreets, far from the choc ices and donkey rides, the Webb Sisters are returning to their mother's run-down guest house, as she lies dying upstairs.

The creative team includes writer Jez Butterworth, director Sam Mendes, designer Rob Howell, lighting designer Natasha Chivers, sound designer, composer and arranger Nick Powell, choreographer Ellen Kane, musical supervisor and arranger Candida Caldicot, casting director Amy Ball, and young person’s casting director Verity Naughton.

Presale tickets are available from 18 October at 12pm here, ahead of a general on sale on 20 October.
