Description - Festen by David Eldridge


Helge, the patriarch of a chain of restaurants, is celebrating his sixtieth birthday and everyone is coming home from the party including Helge's sons, Christian, Michael and his daughter Helene. Missing from the roster of invitees is Christian's twin sister, Linda, who recently committed suicide. The reason for her action and the repercussions from it, form the basis of the shocking and painful events that transpire during a twenty-four hour period. In the midst of dinner, Christian makes a startling accusation and, even as the disbelieving guests are choosing sides, the play slowly unwraps the truth.

David Eldridge powerful new play is adapted from Thomas Vinterborg's screenplay of the very successful film, Dogme.
Published to tie in with Almeida Theatre production in March 2004 directed by Rufus Norris
