Live at the Duke of York's Theatre
Olivier, Tony and Molliere award winning Florian Zeller’s newest show, transfers from the Kiln Theatre, London. After the success of his critically acclaimed works, The Father and The Mother, and the highly successful UK premiere of The Son, it transfers to London’s Duke of York’s Theatre.
When a family starts to crumble, the son begins to spiral. Nicholas has been ditching school, lying to his family and hiding strange things under his bed. His family are not sure if this is typical adolescent rebellion or should his family be more concerned for his well being?
Nicholas things moving in with his father and his new family might just be the fresh start he needs, but when that doesn’t work he decides that moving back to his mother’s might be the answer.
The West End cast for The Son transfer will see Amanda Abbington, Laurie Kynaston, Amaka Okafor, and John Light reprise their roles from the hit Off-West End production.
