Exclusive: Production photos of This Is My Family have been released by Anthology Theatre.

Telling the story of a so-called dream family holiday that goes somewhat awry, Tim Firth’s award-winning piece was originally staged at Sheffield Theatres in 2013.

Starring in the new production at Southwark Playhouse Elephant are Nancy Allsop (Nicky), Victoria Elliott (Sian), Michael Jibson (Steve), Luke Lambert (Matt), Gay Soper (May), and Gemma Whelan (Yvonne). They are directed by Vicky Featherstone.

You can listen to Whelan, Allsop, and Elliott perform “Sex is a Safari” in the video below:

Caroline Humphris serves as music supervisor, with set design by Chloe Lamford, lighting design by Lee Curran, and sound design by Dominic Bilkey. Ethan Cheek is responsible for costume design and associate set design, while Natalie Pound will take on music direction. Casting is by Amy Ball, and Vaila Anderson joins as associate director.
