'Twas the Fight Before Christmas

by Devon Williamson

Think your family is complicated? Meet the most dysfunctional family you can imagine as they try to navigate Christmas. Peace on earth and good will to all men? Not likely! Ever since her husband died, Mary’s horrible adult children have been ruining Christmas. This year, Mary is determined to take Christmas back. 

The play is a comedic tale filled with clever dialogue and hilarious characters that will have you giggling, sniggering and chortling out loud throughout.

It follows long-suffering mother Mary Harvey who attempts to reclaim Christmas – and her own life – back from her fantastically wicked daughters, Stella and Mandy.

Ottershaw Players have been running since 1963. We are an activity part of Ottersahw village community and perform our productions in Ottershaw Village Hall.

We are a small, friendly group, performing three to four  plays a year and offer a variety of productions from comedy to murder mystery, award winning festival one acts, full length productions, home written plays and the occasional venture into musical hall and more serious drama.

We are a fun social group always welcoming new members whether it be to act, be a stage hand, make props, build sets, lighting, sound, help with costumes or any other role. Set painting is often run as a social way to spend a morning at our storage hut, plus some of us enjoy entering the village quiz, run by the village hall committee and held  three times a year.

Upcoming productions are advertised both here and on our Facebook page so why not come along and meet us, find out what we're all about.
