The Pulitzer prize-winning play, Buried Child, is to extend its West End run until March 2017.
The drama will now run until Saturday 4th March at Trafalgar Studios in London.
Buried Child, written by American playwright, Sam Shepard, stars Ed Harris, famous for his performances in shows including Westworld, Pollock, The Hours and The Truman Show, as Dodge and Golden Globe winner Amy Madigan as Halie.
Jeremy Irvine (War Horse, The Railway Man), Charlotte Hope (Game of Thrones, Allied) and Jack Fortune (King Lear, Route Irish) also star.
Synopsis
Dodge and Halie are barely hanging on to their farmland and their sanity while looking after their two wayward grown sons. When their grandson Vince arrives with his girlfriend Shelly, no one seems to recognize him, and confusion abounds. As Vince tries to make sense of the chaos, the rest of the family dances around a deep, dark secret.
