Following their triumphant production of The Ferryman, Tony-winning Playwright Jez Butterworth and Oscar and Tony-winning Director Sam Mendes have reunited on Broadway for The Hills of California. In the sweltering summer heat, the Webb sisters return to their childhood home in the English seaside – the run-down Sea View Guest House – to say “goodbye” to their ailing mother. When memories from their youth come flooding back, the sisters must confront their past and untangle a web of secrets, betrayals, and profound emotional bonds. Ben Brantley sums it up: “It confirms Jez Butterworth’s status as one of the greatest playwrights working today.”
