Relics Tickets - London
‘There are some Alphabites in the freezer. Pop the oven on. You can eat your own words.’
Relics is a sharp new dark comedy at the Lyric Hammersmith that highlights hidden family secrets. Following the recent passing of their mother, four siblings are reunited at her home with the intention of dividing her possessions between them. During the reunion, a long-buried family secret is brought into the open, which challenges everything they thought they knew about each other......and themselves.
Always the people-pleaser, Rob simply wants them all to get along, while Liv - true to form - tries to bulldoze things back to how they used to be. But Michelle refuses to tow the fragile family line, and as prodigal son, Jonny seems hellbent on pushing everyone’s buttons, they all look set to lose everything – their dignity included.
