Britain's What's On Event Guide
Festen
It’s Helge’s 60th birthday and guests are looking forward to a lavish dinner party. But, beneath the polished veneer there are dark and painful secrets. Rising to toast his father’s lifetime of success, eldest son Christian decides this is the moment to break the silence. With gathering and gut-wrenching tension, the family battles for the truth. While for guests trapped between explosive revelations, the best thing they can do is the conga.
Adapted from the legendary Dogme 95 film, Festen is a raw, shattering and darkly comic view of the denials that hold families together.
