Relics

About Relics

Relics at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is the world premiere of Ben Ockrent’s darkly comic family drama, directed by the award-winning Michael Longhurst. It explores the legacies people inherit, the choices they make and the compromise of growing up.

When four siblings reunite at their recently deceased mother’s home to divide her possessions, a long-buried family secret comes to light. Liv, Rob, Michelle and Jonny each approach the reunion differently, and the evening quickly turns into a confrontation over both family history and what is left behind.

Set in one family home, the play centres on grief, sibling tension and the pressure of facing the truth after a death.
