'In Celebration' with Orlando Bloom, Ends 9/15

David Storey's 1969 drama In Celebration will have its final performance at the Duke of York's Theatre on September 15.

"David Storey's modern classic took audiences by storm at the Royal Court in the 1960's and established him as one of the country's most powerful playwrights," state press notes, "Three brothers – Andrew, Colin and Steven – return home to the northern roots of their childhood for a family reunion. Although they have returned to celebrate, the explosive complexities of family life and long-held grievances are unlikely to improve the chances of a decent party… Compelling and emotionally thrilling, In Celebration is an exploration of family love and of how the consequences of best intentions can threaten to destroy treasured hopes and dreams."

The cast features Lynda Baron (Mrs Burnett), Orlando Bloom (Steven), Gareth Farr (Colin), Tim Healy (Mr Shaw), Paul Hilton (Andrew), Ciaran McIntyre (Reardon) and Dearbhla Molloy (Mrs Shaw).  In Celebration is designed by Lez Brotherston, with lighting by Mark Henderson, music by Stephen Warbeck and sound by John Leonard.

The Duke of York's Theatre is located at St Martin's Lane, London WC2.  Performances are through September 15; showtimes are Mondays – Saturdays at 7:30PM with matinees Tuesdays & Saturdays at 2:30PM.

Tickets are from £15 - £45, plus concessions.  £15 seats available for Under 26's at every performance (subject to availability, best available, bookable in advance, proof of age required on collection).  £20 day seats available from 10AM daily
