David Harbour, of Stranger Things and Hellboy fame, returns to the West End as Michael, the mentally ill son of Bill Pullman’s Daniel, in Mad House.
From Theresa Rebeck, the writer who brought you plays such as Seminar starring Alan Rickman and Dead Accounts with Katie Holmes, comes this dark comedy centred around a dysfunctional (to put it mildly) family.
Set in rural Pennsylvania, the play stars Harbour as Michael, a man who has recently left a psychiatric hospital to care for his terminally ill father Daniel, played by Pullman.
Pullman (who you’d recognise from Independence Day and The Sinner) is a particularly savage father, seemingly cracking out the most offensive comments he can think of about his son’s mental health and the world around him in general.
To add more fuel to the fire, Michael’s siblings soon arrive to pay their last disrespects to their dying dad, and to argue over who inherits what from Daniel’s fortune.
Mad House is showing at Ambassadors Theatre for a limited time only. Here’s how you can get tickets.
