Introduction

A bleak comic look at the relationships of three couples over three consecutive Christmas gatherings. With each Yuletide visit we find the characters locked in an invidious battle, as they struggle in a game of one-up-man-ship, each trying to gain power as individuals over the dependency and obsession that rules their lives. As reason fall away the adults revert to children in their attempts to deal with the greatest tragedy - their lives.
