This house. It’s called “Sea View”.  It’s just I’ve looked out of every window, and you can’t. You can’t see the sea.

Blackpool, 1976. The driest summer in 200 years. The beaches are packed. The hotels are heaving. In the sweltering backstreets, far from the choc ices and donkey rides, the Webb Sisters are returning to their mother’s run-down guest house, as she lies dying upstairs.

The Hills of California plays at Harold Pinter Theatre from 27 January 2024 for a strictly limited season.

The production is not able to guarantee the appearance of any specific actor due to illness or unforeseen circumstances.
