Season's Greetings
Season's Greetings | Alan Ayckbourn
8 posts | 1 read
Now we don't want to start Christmas like this, do we? Cheating at snakes and ladders, fighting over comic books, a bungled infidelity beneath the tree. Christmas has arrived in the Bunker household along with family and friends. But as the children lurk just out of sight, it's the adults who are letting the side down. I couldn't. Not in our sitting-room. Not in front of the television. Somewhere else. Presiding over the festivities are two warring uncles, one a kindly, incompetent doctor with an interminable puppet show to perform; the other a bullying retired security guard who dominates the TV, brings toy guns for his nieces and determines there's a thief in their midst. Alan Ayckbourn's masterly Season's Greetings offers a seriously entertaining look at the misery and high jinks of an average family Christmas. The play opens at the National Theatre, London, in December 2010. Three times I caught him at it. Ripping open presents, helping himself to the contents.

Took a night off reading my book to enjoy a wonderful play at our local theater! It‘s always great to #SupportTheArts but even better when you laugh so hard your cheeks hurt! If this show comes to your theater I would HIGHLY suggest it! It was like Christmas Vacation/a good comedic sitcom! Plus the cast was simply amazing! I might have to go catch this one again!

Chrissyreadit ❤️❤️❤️My daughter is very active in our local theatre. I agree it is so much fun! 6y
gradcat Great set! 6y
SassyBookworm @Chrissyreadit mine too! My oldest was in our Teen Workshop this summer & did Footloose then she was Assistant director for our Halloween production of The Haunting of Hill House (I was Mrs. Montague) and my youngest is finally old enough to go to the kids camp this summer! She can‘t wait they are doing Wizard of Oz jr! It‘s a great way to meet new people and such a fun atmosphere! (edited) 6y
SassyBookworm @gradcat I thought so too! Made it so much more interesting! 6y
