Relics

About Relics

Relics at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is the world premiere of Ben Ockrent’s darkly comic family drama, directed by the award-winning Michael Longhurst. Four siblings reunite at their recently deceased mother’s home to divide her possessions, but a long-buried family secret erupts and changes the way they see themselves and each other.

Liv tries to force things back to how they used to be, Rob wants everyone to get along, Michelle has had enough of holding the family together, and Jonny is determined to push buttons. The play explores the legacies families inherit, the choices they make and the compromises that come with growing up.

Dates: 18 June to 18 July 2026.
