The Woodhouse Players present their Spring double-bill of one-act plays - 'The Long Christmas Dinner' and 'God of Carnage' - 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th March 2016
Please note that you can save money by booking your tickets in advance - see below.
'The Long Christmas Dinner' by Thornton Wilder:
"There's a story that my Grandmother Bayard crossed the Mississippi on a raft before there were any bridges or ferryboats. She died before Genevieve and I were born. Time certainly goes very fast in a great new country like this."
Ninety years in the life of the Bayard family told through their annual Christmas gatherings. A meditation on life, death, time, continuity, and change by Thornton Wilder (1897-1975), author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning plays Our Town and The Skin Of Our Teeth, and novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey.
'God of Carnage' by Yasmina Reza:
"Morality decrees we should control our impulses, but sometimes it's good not to control them... You're far more authentic when you're showing yourself in a horrible light."
Two couples meet up to build bridges after their sons get in a playground scrap, but simmering tensions and unresolved conflicts reveal that the parents can be far more juvenile than their children. God of Carnage was written in 2006 by French-Iranian playwright Yasmina Reza and translated into English by Christopher Hampton in 2008. A smash hit on both sides of the Atlantic, it has won both the Olivier Award for Best Comedy and the Tony Award for Best Play.
