RSC's 200th Production

November 10th - 12th 2011

 

   

The Bliss family is ultra bohemian. Mother Judith is a retired actress who makes a crisis out of everything, father David  is a selfish novelist; their children Simon and Sorrel are good looking but ill mannered. One weekend all announce they are expecting a guest: mother has invited an athletic youth who is in love with her, Sorel a diplomat, Simon an intense young woman and David a flapper. The guests receive an unusual and rude reception much to their bewilderment. For the Bliss family though it is just another (typical) day.

 

The play had previously been produced by RSC in 1975 as their first production at the Kenneth More Theatre. This version had the same director as the 1975 production and one of the original cast (though thirty six years on this was in a different role).
