Relics

About Relics

Relics at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is the world premiere of Ben Ockrent’s darkly comic family drama. When four siblings reunite at their recently deceased mother’s home to divide up her possessions, a buried family secret comes to the surface and changes how they see one another.

The play follows Liv, Rob, Michelle and Jonny as old roles and tensions resurface: Liv tries to force things back to how they were, Rob wants to keep the peace, Michelle has had enough, and Jonny is determined to push every button. Directed by the award-winning Michael Longhurst, it explores the legacies families inherit, the choices they make and the compromises that come with growing up.

It runs from 18 June to 18 July 2026.
