The latest work from acclaimed playwright Jez Butterworth, The Hills of California is a generational drama that rifles through decades of one family's past.
Blackpool, 1976. The driest summer in two hundred years. The beaches are packed. The hotels are heaving. In the sweltering backstreets, far from the choc ices and donkey rides, the Webb Sisters are returning to their mother's run-down guest house, as she lies dying upstairs.
