New play RELICS is coming to the Lyric Hammersmith for a limited run next summer.
‘There’s some Alphabites in the freezer. Pop the oven on. You can eat your own words.’
The world premiere of Ben Ockrent‘s RELICS is a darkly comic family drama about the legacies we inherit, the choices we make, and the heartbreaking compromise of growing up, directed by the award-winning Michael Longhurst.
The Lyric’s 2026 Season is supported by Mark & Sarah Crosbie.

When four siblings reunite at their recently-deceased mother’s home with the intention of divvying up her possessions, a long-buried family secret explodes out into the open – challenging everything they thought they knew about themselves and each other.
True to form, Liv thinks she can bulldozer her way back to how things used to be. People-pleaser, Rob, just wants everyone to get along. But Michelle’s had enough of towing the fragile family line. And with prodigal son, Jonny, hellbent on pushing everyone’s buttons, they all look set to lose everything – their dignity included.
Tickets are available for performances from 19 June – 18 July 2026.
Age Guidance: 12+
Ben Ockrent (Writer), Michael Longhurst (Director).
