About the play:
It’s a wedding day.
Family gathers. Old tensions simmer. New fault lines begin to crack.
As the drinks flow and the night unfolds, long-held secrets rise to the surface — and what should be a celebration becomes something far more explosive.
Beth Steel’s Till the Stars Come Down is a fiercely funny, deeply moving portrait of family, class, and the fragile ties that bind us together. Raw, honest, and utterly gripping, it captures the chaos and beauty of people trying – and sometimes failing — to hold each other close.
Launching their 2026 In-House Season, this is everything you love about Holden Street:
Bold storytelling.
Unflinching performances.
And that unmistakable, up-close intensity you can’t get anywhere else.
This is theatre that grabs you, moves you, and stays with you.
Tickets ON SALE NOW – don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
