Jez Butterworth's play The Hills of California opens at the Harold Pinter Theatre on January 27th, 2024, for a limited season.
This house. It’s called ‘Sea View’. It’s just that I’ve looked out of every single window, and you can’t. You can not see the sea.
Blackpool, 1976. It's the driest summer in over two centuries. The beaches are full to the brim with sun worshippers. The hotels in the town are all packed. Far away from the donkey rides and chocices, in the sweltering backstreets, the Webb Sisters have returned to their mother's run-down guest house, as she lies upstairs dying.
Jez Butterworth resumes his partnership with Sam Mendes, following their multi-award-winning triumph The Ferryman to bring you their latest collaboration, The Hills of California.
