News Theatre

 

The Hills of California, the latest darkly comedic drama from the acclaimed English playwright Jez Butterworth, will transfer to Broadway this fall after a well-received five-month run in London.

 

The play, directed by Sam Mendes, is about a group of singing sisters — well, they sang together as kids — who have gathered at their childhood home in northwestern England because their mother is dying of cancer. The play is set in the 1970s, with flashbacks to the 1950s.

 

The New York production is set to begin previews on the 11th September and to open on the 29th September at the Broadhurst Theatre. Casting has not yet been announced.

 

Agency client Sam Mendes is represented by Katie Haines.
