This Is My Family

Anthology Theatre have announced the London premiere of Tim Firth’s Award-winning musical This Is My Family. Directed by Vicky Featherstone, the brand-new production opens at Southwark Playhouse Elephant on 28th May, with previews from 23rd May, and runs until 12th July.

Close family. Dream holiday. Total nightmare.

'Describe your family and win a dream holiday'. That was the competition pinging up on Nicky's phone. So she describes the family she dreams of having, but not the one she's got. The one she fears is falling apart. And then... she wins the holiday. Instead of choosing Rome or Orlando or anywhere else on earth, Nicky takes her family camping. Back to the place her parents went once, when they were her age, a thousand years ago. The place where they first met.

This is My Family, the hilarious and uplifting story of the disastrous family holiday that eventually brings the family together, won the UK Theatre Award for Best Musical in 2013 and is brought to London for the first time by Olivier award winners Tim Firth (Our House) and Vicky Featherstone (Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour).
