The Blackpool-set black comedy is an emotional rollercoaster, but does it run out track?
Just as they did in Jez Butterworth's landmark 2009 play Jerusalem, in his newest, The Hills of California, directed by Sam Mendes and now running at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End, the wide-open plains of imagination and self-actualisation meet the stark cliff-edges of little England.
With rising desperation, she drills them in dance routines and close harmonies, winningly performed by the young cast to help them fulfil their dreams of the bright lights of the London Palladium and, beyond that, Carnegie Hall. But when opportunity does suddenly come knocking, in the form of a Mr-Wolfish agent , the lengths to which Veronica will go – or ask her children to go – take a significantly darker turn that aids understanding of the sisters’ complicated dynamic.
