by Alan Ayckbourn adapted for radio by Richard Wigmore
Christmas is a time when family and friends get together to celebrate the festive season. But the celebrations don't always go quite as planned. It's bad form, for instance, for a hostess to try and seduce her sister's boyfriend. And elderly uncles, who once worked for a security firm, should definitely be discouraged from going around with razor-sharp throwing knives under their trouser legs and loaded shotguns in their pockets. Who knows what might happen?
