Britain's What's On Event Guide
Houses Apart
Long Pause Productions presents Houses Apart, a comedy that explores the more complicated aspects of what it means to be a family. Set in the Essex countryside, the sudden death of Andrew Bennett brings together his five estranged children for the very first time.
Now adults, these five individuals are forced to reunite to settle his will and sort through his things. But as they discover, inheritance is about far more than money. As old wounds are reopened and secrets spill out, the family’s fragile walls collapse - sometimes hilariously, sometimes heartbreakingly.
The story is a funny inquiry into the complexity of family relations, inheritance and belonging. At its heart, Houses Apart asks: how does the love we are given - or denied - growing up shape who we become?
