The production is part of the Young Vic's newly announced spring 2010 season, which will also include I Am Yusuf and This is My Brother (January 19 - February 6), written and directed by Amir Nizar Zuabi on the theater's mainstage. The play centers a family drama that unfolds in 1948 as war begins.

Additionally, Luc Bondy will direct David Harrower's new adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's tragic romance Sweet Nothings (February 25 - April 10). The third spring entry on the Young Vic's main stage will be Fiona Shaw's ENO/Young Vic co-production of Hans Werner Henze's opera Elegy for Young Lovers (April 24 - May 8), which focuses on a poet who devours people to nourish his art and ego.
