Theatre Group presents: Rules for Living

Rules for Living written by Sam Holcroft and directed by Charlie Crozier

13th - 15th February 7:30pm Alec Clegg

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 this theatrically playful, dark comedy the instructions are there for all to see, audience included - so there's really no place to hide.

Content warnings: strong language, alcohol abuse, smoking, fatphobia, misogynistic language, violence and references to depression
