Christmas Eve. Bettina and her husband Albert aren’t
happy – Bettina’s mother is staying for the holidays.
Which is awkward. Not least because Bettina’s mother
met a man on the train. And now she’s invited him
around for drinks…
Family, betrayal and the inescapable presence of the
past reverberate through the UK premiere of Roland
Schimmelpfennig’s razor-sharp comedy about the rise of
the new right across the globe.
Schimmelpfennig is the most performed playwright in
Germany, with productions of his work worldwide in over
40 countries.

‘A sharply provocative twist on the traditional fraught family
festivities drama.’
THE INDEPENDENT
‘What really counts is that Schimmelpfennig, in portraying the
failure of liberal intellectuals to confront the hideous legacy
of the past, has written a potent play for today.’
