Sutton Arts Theatre Present : The Hills Of California

Blackpool, 1976. The driest summer in 200 years. The beaches are packed. The hotels are heaving. In the sweltering back streets, far from the choc ices and donkey rides, the Webb Sisters are returning to their childhood home – the run-down Sea View Guest House – to say “goodbye” to their ailing mother. From Tony award winning writer, Jez Butterworth, this “relentlessly entertaining new play” (The New York Times) transports audiences to the 1970s, then further back to the 1950s when the sisters, dreaming of becoming a famous singing group, had their lives changed forever. As memories from their youth come flooding back, the sisters must confront their past and untangle a web of secrets, betrayals, and profound emotional bonds.
