Starring in the play is Kenneth Cranham as Max, Anthony O'Donnell as Sam, Nigel Lindsay as Lenny, Danny Dyer as Joey, Jenny Jules as Ruth, and Neil Dudgeon as Teddy.

The creative team includes direction by Michael Attenborough, design by Jonathan Fensom, lighting design by Neil Austin, and sound design by John Leonard.

Set in North London, The Homecoming, concerns the ultimate dysfunctional family, presided over by its patriarch Max. Living under his dilapidated roof are his younger brother Sam, and two of his sons: Lenny, the town pimp, and Joey, a boxer-in-training. Tensions begin to flair with the arrival of Max's eldest son Teddy, who returns home after six years with his new wife Ruth. Seduction, betrayal, and divisiveness ensue, as the family welcomes the homecoming of its estranged brother and vies for the attention of his dangerously alluring wife.
