Rules for Living

by Sam HolcroftA black comedy-drama based on the premise that everyone creates their own coping strategies or rules for living.

But what happens when an extended family gathers in the kitchen for a traditional Christmas and they each follow those rules rigidly? As long-held mechanisms for survival are laid bare, even Mum, who's been preparing this lunch since last January, becomes embroiled.

Time-honoured rivalries and resentments will out.

Accusations fly, relationships deconstruct, the rules take over.

In Sam Holcroft's theatrically playful, dark comedy, the instructions are there for all to see, audience included - so there's really no place to hide!'Bitingly funny and sharply observed'.
