About The Hills of California

This house. It’s called ‘Sea View’. It’s just I’ve looked out of every window, and you can’t. You can’t see the sea.

Blackpool, 1976. The driest summer in 200 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.

Following their multi award-winning triumph The Ferryman, Jez Butterworth, writer of Jerusalem, resumes his partnership with Sam Mendes, director of The Lehman Trilogy, to bring you The Hills of California.

The Hills of California plays at Harold Pinter Theatre from 27 January 2024 for a strictly limited season.

Intense, Absorbing, Riveting, Great writing, Great acting

See it if You are a fan of family melodramas with lots of decades-old secrets, betrayals and angst.

Great acting, Nostalgic, Evocative mood piece

See it if you liked Jez Butterworth's The Ferryman-or you enjoy a good story with interesting characters, told well-but highly predictable in content

Don’t see it if you want something a little less cliche in the drama arena. This is a well done play, very enjoyable - but hardly a new tale.
