TARRYSTONE PLAYERS

PROUDLY PRESENT

The Hilarious

by Alan Ayckbourn

Half-a-dozen relatives and friends are celebrating Christmas with Neville and Belinda. Various children are also there: though unseen, their presence is always felt and indeed seems duplicated in the adults. Petty, and not so petty, squabbles break out and Christmas presents are rifled. A final climax, resulting from the arrival of a young writer, Clive, leads to what appears to be tragedy as he is shot by the trigger-happy Harvey as a looter. 

(Synopsis from Samuel French acting edition) "Season's Greetings is a play about love and about... how unfair it all is. And success and failure. And jealousy and self-deception. And greed and envy and lust and gluttony. Just an average family Christmas. And looming over the proceedings in true pantomime spirit the shadow of two eccentric uncles, the good angel and the bad one..."
