[AD]The drama follows three brothers—Andrew (Hilton), Colin (Farr) and Steven (Bloom)— who return home to the northern roots of their childhood for a family reunion. Although they have returned to celebrate, the explosive complexities of family life and long-held grievances are unlikely to improve the chances of a decent party… In Celebration is an exploration of family love and of how the consequences of best intentions can threaten to destroy treasured hopes and dreams.
In Celebration is initially booking to 15 September.
