Nothing cuts into us like the family knife.
The Webster House.
1965. 1979. 1985. 1990. 2016.
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.
