SEASON'S GREETINGS
Alan Ayckbourn’s classic comedy ‘Season’s Greetings’ played to full houses and enjoyed rave reviews in its recent revival on the London stage.
This hilarious comedy is Ayckbourn at his best. Against the backdrop of a very traditional English Christmas, a family and some friends spend most of the time bickering, crying and generally behaving very badly. Bernard wants to entertain with his dismal puppet show; Phyllis wants recognition for her undercooked lamb; Rachel wants Clive; Clive doesn’t know what he wants; Harvey wants to arm women and children with guns; Eddie – he wants a beer. Just your average family Christmas!
Multi-award winning director, Coleen van Staden, has gathered a talented, intuitive cast who fully appreciate Ayckbourn’s ironic humour.
This MADS presentation of Alan Ayckbourn’s ‘Season’s Greetings’ opens at the Masque Theatre, Muizenberg, on Friday June 01 and runs until Saturday 09 June(excluding Sunday to Wednesday).
