Relics

About Relics

Relics at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is the world premiere of Ben Ockrent’s darkly comic family drama. When four siblings return to their recently deceased mother’s home to divide her possessions, a buried family secret comes to light and forces them to confront what they thought they knew about one another.

Liv is determined to push things back to how they used to be, Rob wants everyone to keep the peace, Michelle has had enough of holding the family line together, and Jonny is set on provoking everyone around him. The play explores the legacies people inherit, the choices they make and the compromises involved in growing up, and it is directed by award-winning Michael Longhurst.

Times: 18 June to 18 July 2026.
