Description

The House of Shades by Beth Steel A powerful and poignant play that spans five decades in the lives of one family. Set against the backdrop of working-class Britain, this revelatory work explores the impact of death and trauma on those left behind. From 1965 to 2016, the Webster family's story is told through a series of interconnected scenes, each shedding light on the complex web of relationships and secrets that bind them together. With its raw emotion and unflinching honesty, The House of Shades is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in drama and the human condition. First performed at the Almeida in 2020, this award-winning play has been hailed as a standout work by one of the UK's most exciting new voices in theatre.
