Why watch Till The Stars Come Down?
- Beth Steel's critically acclaimed, award-winning play Till The Stars Come Down returns to the London stage, bringing with it an "utterly unmissable theatrical event" (WhatsOnStage) and a "deliriously funny" story (Telegraph) that took the city by storm.
- Set against the backdrop of the Mansfield wedding of Sylvia and Marek, the narrative explores family dynamics, cultural tensions, and the complexities of love, offering a heartfelt exploration of familial bonds, cultural tensions, and personal aspirations.
- Following a sold-out stint at the National Theatre, the play transfers to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a strictly limited 13-week engagement, making it a must-see event this summer.
Till the Stars Come Down is a critically lauded play by Beth Steel, whose previous works have been celebrated for their raw emotional depth and sharp social commentary. Originally premiering at the National Theatre's Dorfman stage, the production quickly earned acclaim for its compelling storytelling and stellar performances. Now set to transfer to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a strictly limited West End run, the play is helmed by director Bijan Sheibani, known for his work on Barber Shop Chronicles and The Brothers Size. With an ensemble cast bringing Steel’s richly layered script to life, the production is enhanced by a creative team dedicated to immersive storytelling, from dynamic set designs to evocative lighting that heightens the drama’s intensity.
Storyline
In a small English town, a young bride-to-be named Sylvia prepares for her big day, unaware that it is soon to become a battleground for long-simmering family tensions and unspoken truths. As loved ones gather, including her Polish fiancé Marek, deep-seated conflicts begin to surface, and the evening takes unexpected turns. With humor and poignancy, the play explores themes of belonging, cultural identity, and the weight of past choices, drawing audiences into an intimate yet universally resonant tale of love, loyalty, and self-discovery.
