The play “California Hills” is another collaboration between renowned playwright Jez Butterworth and acclaimed director Sam Mendes. They have previously worked together on plays such as “Jerusalem” and “The Ferryman,” and this new production is highly anticipated and expected to captivate audiences once again.
Plot
The play is set in Blackpool, not the namesake California, during the scorching summer of 1976. Against this backdrop, the Webb sisters return to their family guest house to spend time with their dying mother. Although little is known about the plot, Butterworth’s track record suggests that in “California Hills,” his signature themes of nature, mysticism, and human fate will be explored.
Ticket Sales
It is worth noting that this play will differ from Butterworth’s tradition of premieres at the Royal Court. Instead, it will be presented by Sonia Friedman and Neal Street Productions, offering audiences a fresh and exciting change of scenery.
Tickets for “California Hills” will officially go on sale on October 20th, but fans who have registered to participate in the pre-sale on the play’s website will be able to purchase tickets from October 18th.
