A dysfunctional family's holiday gathering tests the limits of love and tradition.
During the festive season, the Dahl family reunites as the adult children return to their childhood home, partners in tow. While their cherished tradition of spontaneous carol singing in perfect harmony continues, the gathering is far from melodious. As the family waits for an seemingly endless dinner to be served, long-buried conflicts resurface and new challenges emerge, creating a tense atmosphere.
This poignant and humorous play explores whether the Dahls' familial bonds are strong enough to weather the storm, or if this Christmas might mark the end of their shared celebrations.
Emmy® Award nominee Leslye Headland, known for works like "Bachelorette" and "Star Wars: The Acolyte," crafts a narrative that delves into the complexities of family dynamics. Her new play masterfully balances moments of warmth with heartache, examining the forces that both unite and divide families during the holiday season.
