The Tyler Sisters (NHB Modern Plays)

Three women, forty years, one ever-evolving bond.

Fake sick days, Stonehenge, roller skates, champagne and glow-in-the-dark stars.

The Tyler Sisters is a funny, heartening exploration of time, and the unassuming moments that make up our lives. Alexandra Wood's innovative play explores the deep and unruly waters of sisterhood. It premiered at Hampstead Theatre Downstairs, London, in December 2019.
