NT Live Screening - The<br />
Last of the Haussmans<br />
This eagerly-anticipated new play:<br />
a funny, touching and sometimes<br />
savage portrait of a family that’s<br />
losing its grip. Anarchic, feisty but<br />
growing old, high society drop-out<br />
Judy Haussman (Julie Walters)<br />
remains in spirit with the Ashrams of<br />
the 1960s while holding court in her<br />
dilapidated Art Deco house on the<br />
Devon coast. After an operation, she’s<br />
joined by wayward offspring Nick and<br />
Libby, sharp-eyed granddaughter<br />
Summer, local doctor Peter, and<br />
Daniel, a troubled teenager who<br />
makes use of the family’s crumbling<br />
swimming pool. Together they share a<br />
few sweltering months in this chaotic<br />
world of all-day drinking, infatuations,<br />
long-held resentments, free love and<br />
failure.<br />
Time: 18:00<br />
