Middle Ground Theatre Company

Set in a Norfolk vicarage on Christmas Eve 1947, the vicar’s family gather for the festive season. Peace and goodwill radiates from the warm-hearted elderly vicar, cared for by his young daughter.

But with the arrival of two aunts and an errant daughter, the emotional veneer is skilfully peeled away. As skeletons tumble from the closet, simmering tensions, incredible revelations, and a good dose of humour make this an absorbing and uplifting drama for the whole family.

This wonderful festive production has received the Theatre Critic’s Choice in both The Guardian and The Times, and stars Stuart McGugan (It Ain’t Half Hot Mum/Tutti Fruitti), Tom Roberts (Emmerdale/Two Point Four Children), Dean Smith (Waterloo Road) and Hildegard Neil (Antony & Cleopatra). Also starring Alan Leith, Sally Sanders and Rachel Waters.
