The smash-hit National Theatre production of TILL THE STARS COME DOWN transfers to Theatre Royal Haymarket in London’s West End this summer for a strictly limited 13-week run.
What happens when the happiest day of your life opens the door to an uncertain future?
Written by Beth Steel (The House of Shades) and directed by Bijan Sheibani (Barber Shop Chronicles), this Olivier Award-nominated Best New Play is both ‘deliriously funny’ (The Telegraph) and a ‘critical smash’ (WhatsOnStage).
With laugh-out-loud hilarity and heart-wrenching tenderness, TILL THE STARS COME DOWN celebrates and confronts what it really means to be a family.
