The festive family show, written by Kendall Feaver, ran at the London company's Olivier Theatre last year, opening December 5, 2024. Directed by Katy Rudd, the cast featured Sonya Cullingford as Winifred, Yanexi Enriquez as Petrova Fossil, Jenny Galloway as Nana, Nadine Higgin as Theo Dane, Helena Lymbery as Doctor Jakes, Pearl Mackie as Sylvia, Sid Sagar as Jai Saran, Grace Saif as Pauline Fossil, Justin Salinger as GUM and Fidolia, and Daisy Sequerra as Posy Fossil.

Ensemble members and swings included Stacy Abalogun, Eryck Brahmania, Cordelia Braithwaite, Luke Cinque-White, Michelle Cornelius, Courtney George, Georges Hann, Nuwan Hugh Perera, Philip Labey, Katie Lee, Sharol Mackenzie, Xolisweh Ana Richards, and Katie Singh. Casting was by Bryony Jarvis-Taylor.

The play is set in a crumbling house full of dinosaur bones and fossils, as three adopted sisters—Pauline, Petrova, and Posy—are learning who they are and what they want to be under the watchful eyes of their guardian Sylvia, Nana, and some unlikely lodgers. But in a world that wasn’t built for women with big ambitions, can they forge a future and keep their family together?

The production features set design by Frankie Bradshaw, costume design by Samuel Wyer, choreography by Ellen Kane, music by Asaf Zohar, dance arrangements and orchestratrations by Gavin Sutherland, lighting design by Paule Constable, sound design by Ian Dickinson for Autograph, and video design by Ash J Woodward.
