The Hills of California

“What is a song? A song is a dream… a place to be. Somewhere you can live. And in that place, there are no walls. No boundaries. No locks. No keys. You can go anywhere…”
Following their triumph The Ferryman, Jez Butterworth (Jerusalem) and Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) reunite for The Hills of California.

  • SYNOPSIS

    In the sweltering heat of a 1970s summer, the Webb sisters return to their childhood home in Blackpool, where their mother Veronica lies dying upstairs. Gloria and Ruby now have families of their own. Jill never left. And Joan? No one’s heard from her in twenty years… but Jill insists that their mother’s favorite won’t let them down this time. The run-down Sea View Guest House is haunted by bittersweet memories of Oven Bottoms and overdue bills. Back in the 1950s, each night the girls rehearse Andrews Sisters songs for their act, managed by their fiercely loving single mum. But when an American record producer offers them a shot at fame and a chance to escape, it will cost them all dearly.
