★★★★ “Felicity Huffman blazes… Gripping” – Times

Felicity Huffman stars in Hir at the Park Theatre in London.

Taylor Mac’s disarmingly funny, strikingly original comedy returns to London, starring Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Felicity Huffman making her UK stage debut.

Annihilating the past doesn’t always free you from it in this blistering play.

Pulitzer and Tony-nominee Taylor Mac explodes the classic dysfunctional family drama and turns it on its head in this blistering play that explores a family in transition, and forced to build a brave new world out of the pieces of the old.

Directed by Steven Kunis, the cast also incudes Steffan Cennydd as Isaac, Thalía Dudek as Max, and Simon Startin as Arnold.

Hir is playing at the Park Theatre in London from 15 February to 16 March 2024.

Isaac, the prodigal son, has returned from the brutality of war, only to discover his family home transformed by domestic revolution.

The patriarchy has fallen, and mother Paige has been liberated from an oppressive marriage. Enlisting Isaac’s newly-out transgender sibling as her ally, Paige is now on a crusade to tear apart the old regimes.
