Stuart King

In a post-industrial East Midlands town where the largest employer was once the coal mines but is now a warehouse, three sisters prepare for the wedding of one of their number to a Polish immigrant. The scene is primed to unveil a gamut of familiar tropes — class disenchantment, resentment of immigrants, decades-old family feuds and of course the appalling spectacle of drunken wedding dancing en masse. But Beth Steel's caustic family drama also has some unexpected skeletons in its closet, and the excellent cast seem ****-bent on freeing them.Read more →

A family wedding saga set in a single day. I thought Beth Steele’s last play had too many themes running at once; this is much sharper and has both heartbreak and humour in equal measure. It is like the very best Coronation Street writing in a good way with terrific performances and a star turn from Lorraine Washborne as Auntie Carol with all the funniest lines . Very enjoyable.Read more →

Loved this play. Contemporary issues of family dynamics, racism and alienation discussed in a mature and down to earth manner. Great script and great cast performances. Highly recommended.Read more →
