“Tinuke Craig’s sharp, stylish production is acted with savage panache”

There are no miracles in this world. Only those we make for ourselves.

It’s 8am and a revolt is underway.

The father is dying. The son is spying. The wife is cheating. The uncle is stealing. The mother is scheming. The dynasty is crumbling.

One house. One fortune. One victor.

Tinuke Craig (The Color Purple, Random/Generations) makes her Almeida debut with a new production of Maxim Gorky’s savagely funny play, adapted by multi award-winning playwright Mike Bartlett (Albion, King Charles III, Doctor Foster). Cast includes Siobhán Redmond (Top Girls, Imperium I & II) who “gives a highly impressive performance as Gorky’s domineering matriarch” (The Guardian).
