Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama is shot through with characteristic wit and searing passion, Tony Kushner’s latest play is the story of a family grappling to find meaning in a landscape they no longer recognise and an epic exploration of humanity’s compulsive search for Utopias, both personal and political.

New York, 2007. Gus Marcantonio, retired longshoreman, former trade union organiser, renaissance man, feels that the world has turned its back on everything he has fought for in life. With his sister, he summons his three children home, trailing the appendages of their chaotic lives, to their Brooklyn brownstone for the last and most unusual family reunion yet…

The cast also includes David Calder, Richard Clothier, Daniel Flynn, Sara Kestelman, Katie Leung, Luke Newberry, Sirine Saba, Lex Shrapnel, Katy Stephens and Rhashan Stone. The play is directed by Olivier award-winning Michael Boyd.
