'It seems spun in gold.' Guardian
It's Sylvia and Marek's wedding. Over the course of a hot summer's day, a family gathers to welcome a newcomer into their midst. But as the vodka flows and the guests hit the dancefloor, passions boil over and the limits of love are tested.
Beth Steel's heartbreaking, hilarious portrayal of a larger-than-life family struggling to come to terms with a changing world opened at the National Theatre, London, in January 2024.
Beth Steel's second play, Wonderland, was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and won her the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright. Her other plays include Labyrinth at Hampstead Theatre, and The House of Shades at the Almeida Theatre, which was also a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
