The production of Ben Ockrent’s play will run at the Lyric Hammersmith from the 18th June until the 18th July.
Casting has now been confirmed for the world premiere of Ben Ockrent’s ‘Relics’ which will officially open at the Lyric Hammersmith on the 24th June.
The production will be directed by Michael Longhurst and the cast will include: Charly Clive, JJ Feild, Sally Phillips and Sam Swainsbury.
When four siblings reunite at their recently-deceased mother’s home with the intention of divvying up her possessions, a long-buried family secret explodes out into the open – challenging everything they thought they knew about themselves and each other.
True to form, Liv thinks she can bulldozer her way back to how things used to be. People-pleaser, Rob, just wants everyone to get along. But Michelle’s had enough of towing the fragile family line. And with prodigal son, Jonny, hellbent on pushing everyone’s buttons, they all look set to lose everything – their dignity included.
Talking about the production Ben Ockrent said: “It is the honour of my life that Relics will get to have its world premiere at the storied Lyric Hammersmith Theatre this summer. To have Michael Longhurst at the helm of this first production is additionally thrilling, and I am so looking forward to embarking on this journey with him.”
Meanwhile, the creative team includes: Joanna Scotcher as set and costume designer, Simisola Majekodunmi as lighting designer, Dan Balfour as sound designer, Anna Cooper CDG as casting director and Bret Yount as fight director.
