Relics

About Relics

Relics at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is the world premiere of Ben Ockrent’s darkly comic family drama, directed by award-winning Michael Longhurst. Four siblings gather at their recently deceased mother’s home to divide her possessions, but a long-buried family secret soon comes to light and changes what they thought they knew about each other.

Liv is determined to force things back to how they used to be, Rob wants everyone to get along, Michelle has stopped towing the family line, and Jonny seems set on pushing every button he can find. The result is a tense reunion where old roles and loyalties are tested.

The play looks at inherited legacies, the choices people make and the compromises involved in growing up.

Performance dates: 18 June to 18 July 2026. Age restriction: 14+. Accessible performances are scheduled for 7, 8, 14 and 16 July 2026.
