Everyone creates their own coping strategies or rules for living. But what happens when an extended family gathers in the kitchen for a traditional Christmas and they each follow those rules; rigidly? In Sam Holcroft#8217;s theatrically playful; dark comedy the family does just that. And when the instructions are there for all to see; audience included; there#8217;s really no place to hide. As long-held mechanisms for survival are laid bare; even Mum; who#8217;s been preparing this lunch since last January; becomes embroiled. Long-held rivalries and resentments will out. Accusations fly; relationships deconstruct; the rules take over. Rules for Living premiered at the National Theatre; London; in March 2015.

Somewhat academic at times but usually not excessively so. I do not regret this purchase.3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Scholastic reviews of WagnerBy QuantrillThis book is really only for scholars of Richard Wagner; not the general reading public. It is thorough; unbiased; and full of incredibly important information about the composer.0 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great ProductBy janwcc14Great buy!
