Anthology Theatre has announced the London premiere of Tim Firth’s award-winning musical This Is My Family. Directed by Vicky Featherstone, this brand-new production will open at Southwark Playhouse Elephant on 28 May, with previews starting from 23 May, and will run until 12 July.

Originally staged at Sheffield Theatres in 2013, This Is My Family won the UK Theatre Award for Best Musical.

Tim Firth expressed his excitement, saying, “Having a London premiere in a place like this directed by Vicky feels like a competition win for me. The Elephant is a theatre designed for adventure and intimacy – perfect for a musical intended to show that you don’t have to travel abroad to go on safari, that wild animals are closer than we might think and that the best holidays are the ones on which we’ve laughed the most.”

       

Anthology Theatre’s Lil Lambley added, “Anthology Theatre is absolutely delighted to bring this first-class musical and Olivier Award-winning team to the intimate setting of Southwark Playhouse Elephant. At a time when the world feels increasingly uncertain, there’s no better moment to share a heartfelt and uplifting story that celebrates love, forgiveness, and, above all, the joy of shared laughter with your family.”

The cast and full creative team will be announced shortly.

This Is My Family tells the hilarious and uplifting story of a disastrous family holiday that eventually brings the family together. The musical, which won the UK Theatre Award for Best Musical in 2013, is brought to London for the first time by Olivier award winners Tim Firth (Our House) and Vicky Featherstone (Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour).
