Guiding Star

A major play from one of Britain's best young dramatists On 15 April 1989 Terry Fitzgibbon and his two sons survived the Hillsborough disaster. Nine years later, his struggle to come to terms with the tragedy that shook a city is tearing his family apart. Haunted by survivor's guilt, Terry is oblivious to the conflict in his own home, the pain he is inflicting on his wife and the very real tragedy that is unfolding for his neighbours. Guiding Star premiered at the Everyman Theatre Liverpool, in September 1998 and transferred to the Royal National Theatre in November of that year.
