Hull Truck Theatre presents
To Have and To Hold
- Written by Richard Bean
- Directed by Mark Babych
For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer… Until death do us part…
After sixty years of marriage, Jack and Florence have successfully mastered the fine art of bickering. Living in the picturesque village of Wetwang in rural East Yorkshire in their three-bed semi, they’re certainly beginning to feel their age. But with the help and support of local wheeler dealer “Rhubarb Eddie” and cousin Pamela, they’re getting along just fine.
When their writer son and entrepreneur daughter make an appearance to help get their affairs in order, chaos descends, family gripes are aired, and secrets are uncovered. Will Jack and Florence be left alone to live out the rest of their days in peace? Or do their children have other ideas?
Exploring the intricacies of family dynamics and the challenges in caring for aging parents, Richard Bean’s hilarious new comedy drama is a bittersweet delight. Writer of international smash hit One Man, Two Guvnors, plus The Hypocrite and 71 Coltman Street, Richard Bean returns to Hull Truck Theatre for Summer 2025.
