Siblings Clash Over Nazi-Looted Painting

A family grapples with inheritance and a valuable painting with a dark past. Following their mother's recent death, four siblings convene at her home, where a dispute erupts over an artwork suspected to be a multi-million pound family heirloom.

This painting, possibly by Camille Pissarro, is believed to have been stolen from a Jewish family during the Second World War, with suspicions falling on their grandfather, a decorated war hero. The discovery sparks immediate conflict.

Jonny plans to sell the painting on the black market, while his sister Liv insists they cannot profit from Nazi-plundered treasure. Their younger siblings, Michelle and Rob, align with their differing stances, escalating the situation.

Initially subdued, the play's direction by Michael Longhurst leads to a crescendo of physical comedy and increasingly ridiculous scenarios. Despite an artificial resolution, the production is deemed riotous, entertaining, and revealing of grief's impact on family dynamics.
