We invite you to spend Christmas with the Bunkers - a family behaving very badly and spreading tidings of great misery!

As a motley collection of friends and relatives fill the house with their own desires, dreams and forced merriment, the stage is set for seasonal disharmony and romantic intrigue. Christmas presents include squabbles and bloody noses, confessions and tears, mechanical mayhem and passionate trysts under the tree.

It's Christmas Eve and while Belinda is rushing around decorating the tree and seeing to all the guests and their needs, Eddie and a very pregnant Pattie are having a serious bust-up. Meanwhile Bernard is conducting a chaotic rehearsal of his annual gift for the children - a puppet show of the Three Little Pigs - as his wife, Phyllis gets quietly sloshed in the kitchen on the cooking wine. Then something disastrous occurs ...

Ayckbourn wrote Season's Greetings over 30 years ago but it hasn't dated a bit. It would be just as witty and acerbic in any age. It's the ideal festive entertainment for those who want an alternative to pantomime.

Come and share in the fiasco of a typical traditional English Christmas!
