Nothing cuts into us like the family knife.

Death silences no one, least of all the dead.

Set against the ever-changing industrial landscape of working-class Britain, Beth Steel's revelatory new play spans five decades in the lives, and deaths, of the Webster family.


The House of Spades premieres at the Almeida in May 2020.

Beth Steel won Most Promising Playwright at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards.
