The Hills of California
During the dry, dry summer of 1976, the beaches of Blackpool are packed full of holidaymakers, the B&Bs and hotels are full to the brim and the people of Britain are lapping up the sun. Yet in the sweltering heat of the town, far from the sea and gently sloshing waves, the daughters of a guest-house owner head back to her heavily deteriorating lodge. Jez Butterworth's new masterpiece, which recently had a run in the West End and earned an Olivier nomination for Best New Play, is set to transfer to Broadway. Performances will start at the Broadhurst Theatre on Wednesday, September 11, with the official opening night scheduled for September 29.
