Description: A provocative response to the impact of warfare and poverty on working-class family life over the course of the mid-twentieth century, 'In Celebration' was first produced at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1969. When three brothers return home to their northern roots for a reunion, long-held grievances and family issues intrude on the party atmosphere. David Storey's modern classic explores family love and how the best intentions can threaten to destroy hopes and dreams.
