The play follows three couples over three consecutive Christmas Eves, alternating their kitchens as the setting. Between failed parties, awkward visits and misunderstandings, Ayckbourn combines black humour with a look at class and marriage tensions.
It belongs to the New Longman Literature series, with notes and pre-reading activities for the British secondary curriculum (GCSE).
For secondary school students of English literature and for fans of British theatre and black humour.
