A funny, touching and at times savage portrait of a family full of
longing that's losing its grip - The Last of the Haussmans examines
the fate of the revolutionary generation. Anarchic, feisty but
growing old, high-society drop-out Judy Haussman remains in spirit
with the ashrams of the 1960s, while holding court in her
dilapidated art deco house on the Devon coast. After an operation,
she's joined by her wayward offspring, her sharp-eyed
granddaughter, a local doctor and a troubled teenager who makes use
of the family's crumbling swimming pool. Over a few sweltering
months they alternately cling to and flee a chaotic world of
all-day drinking, infatuations, long-held resentments, free love
and failure. Stephen Beresford's play The Last of the Haussmans was
first staged at the National Theatre, London, in 2012, in a
production starring Julie Walters and Rory Kinnear.
