It’s Christmas in Mike Harding’s comedy. Relatives you hardly ever see, and who are now very different from you, arrive at your house for the festivities. No-one receives a present that is appropriate. Culinary disasters abound. Long-buried resentments rear their ugly heads as the alcohol flows and tongues are loosened
Not all this was acting….. some of the drinks were real alcohol, so the swearing got a little worse. Two people wrote to complain, but anonymously, so we couldn’t reply to apologise!
Directed by Viv Stuart, and produced by Hazel Hancock. We have a DVD, from David Laine’s original. This seems to be the last appearances of Alison Ashton after 13 years, and Sylvia Wright, after 25 years. The programme notes the death of Maureen Heath earlier in the year
The programme also announces the merger between Grenoside and Birley Carr, with the following April operetta being the first joint production
