Comedy of manners where the comfort of guests of a family at a country house is wrecked by familial in-fighting.
A sparkling, witty comedy by one of our most famous and successful playwrights. It is the 1920s, and the self-absorbed Bliss family is hosting an unconventional house party. Everyone has invited a guest for the week-end -- but without consulting the others. Of course the situation rapidly becomes complicated, with delicious shades of farce, when the family starts trying to seduce one another's guests.
From Mark Haddon, the bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, comes a dazzlingly inventive novel about modern family life. Richard, a wealthy doctor, invites his estranged sister and her family to join his family for a week at a vacation home in the English countryside. Against the backdrop of a strange family gathering, Haddon skillfully weaves together the stories of eight very different people forced into close quarters. The Red House is a symphony of long-held grudges, fading dreams and rising hopes, tightly guarded secrets and illicit desires, painting a portrait of contemporary family life that is at once bittersweet, comic, and deeply felt.
