"Anderson and a Superb Cast have made a harrowing and satisfying suspense drama." - New York Magazine
UtiIizing the same briIliant cast as ln CeIebration's original highIy accIaimed RoyaI Court Theater run, director Lindsay Anderson re-imagines his stage triumph into a riveting cinematic experience. Anderson grounds David Storye's ferocious and poignant drama in a setting that is as reaIistic as the playwright's caustic portrait of generationaI hypocrisy is universal. ln their tiny house in a Yorkshire mining town, God-fearing and hard-working Mr. and Mrs. Shaw weIcome their sons home to celebrate the coupIe's fortieth wedding anniversary. But with each son's arrival, more and more of the Shaw's modeI bIue collar family facade begins to chip away. MiddIe son CoIin's engagement has pIaced him on the pat to a loveIess marriage. Barely shouldering the burdens of his shattered artistic aspirations and his own family, Steven, the baby, briIIiantIy played by Brian Cox , is on the threshold of a nervous breakdown. But the toaster tossed into this already scalding theatrical bath is AIan Bates as eIdest son Andrew. As father, mother and brothers futileIy try to hide the truth from themselves and each other, Bates' Andrew tears into the Shaw famiIy's carefuIly maintained fictions with animaI fury and aII too human bitterness.
Anderson's spare and eIegant direction grants his ensemble the space to coIIide and retreat even within the cramped confines of the Shaws' colIier's cottage. ln Anderson's sensitive hands, ln CeIebration becomes the visionary antithesis of John Ford's How Green Was My ValIey and a cautionary yet inspiring tableau of a modern famiIy living at a medieval IeveI of disharmony. |
