Friday 25th Feb - 7.00

Saturday 26th Feb - 11.30

This night has no chance in hell of running smoothly.

Written By Kira Hayes

Directed and Choreographed By Kat Stidston

Vermont’s finally home for Thanksgiving. The turkey's on the table. Family tensions are rising. In an unexpected turn of events, Iris’ friends join them for dinner. 

You join us for Thanksgiving, 1930. ‘I have racked my brain over what happened this night; what I did wrong, how I could change what was to come.’ Vermont is finally home, in St. Louis, Missouri, for Thanksgiving, but perhaps he has arrived too late. His sister, Iris, has a story to tell, but she can’t tell it alone. In this family musical drama, Tennessee William’s meets Dr Seuss in a spiral of unfolding tragedy, tensions, and unexpected visitors. The Richardson family tale is told through song, poetry, and narration.
