On Christmas Eve, two well-meaning police officers face an impossible task: delivering devastating news to an elderly couple. Anthony Neilson’s award-winning black comedy transforms a simple duty into an outrageous chain of misunderstandings, blending sharp wit, dark humour and poignant moments in this inventive festive farce.
