a play by Alan Ayckbourn

Directed by: Sam Creighton

Synopsis

Beth is mourning the recent death of her husband, Gordon. Her sister-in-law Connie and son Martin have come to stay, determined that she should have a stress-free Christmas, but between Connie’s drinking problem and Martin’s emotional girlfriend Ella, their intentions prove short-lived. Only the local vicar provides Beth with any comfort, but then he says a prayer for her bereavement and unwittingly summons Gordons ghost, it’s soon evident that his return is not altogether welcome.
