The Shirley Players present an evening of sharp wit and family drama in The Weekend, Michael Palin’s hilarious yet poignant exploration of family life. World-weary Stephen Febble is reluctantly hosting a weekend family gathering at his home in Suffolk. As his daughter, son-in-law, grandchild, and even the dog descend upon him, Stephen reaches for his whisky as he faces their demands with biting sarcasm. Tensions rise, and when unexpected guests arrive, the chaos unfolds with both humour and heart.
Originally performed in the West End in 1994, starring Richard Wilson as Stephen Febble, The Weekend offers a humorous take on the clash between family obligations and personal space, all with Palin’s signature comedic touch.
Don’t miss this delightful production filled with laughter, tension, and a dash of family dysfunction!
