Charly Clive, JJ Feild, Sally Phillips, and Sam Swainsbury will star in RELICS, a new dark comedy by Olivier Award nominee Ben Ockrent, directed by Michael Longhurst at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.

Kit Withington writes a lightweight exegesis of grief, briefly touching upon what it means to grow up and leave home. Technically speaking, there’s nothing wrong with Heart Wall. It’s just a tad too sprawling and prosaic. Withington makes a few good points in her reflection, and Katie Greenall tends to its directorial needs well. From the bittersweet aura as Franky mourns the loss of feeling at home to the harrowing realisation that you might have fallen behind in life, the play prods a dull ache in all of us.
