| Description |
New Zealand playwright Robert Lord sprawls this family saga over 40 years, from 1949 to 1989. He tracks his narrative through eight Christmas Days, each set in the anxiously festive dining room...it's a saga of growing up and growing old, of family tensions, antagonisms, and occasional harmony. |
