ANYONE looking for a pre-Christmas reminder of what can happen when the whole family experience goes pear-shaped should head for Malvern Theatres.

Alan Ayckbourn's Season's Greetings is described as a "seasonal comedy"

It explores the horrors of forgotten presents and relations that are either drunk, eccentric or pregnant and is showing from December 6-11, with Liza Goddard as a hostess trying to make sense out of chaos.

Alison Pargeter, who was so memorable in Ayckbourn's Sugar Daddies at Malvern in February, is also in the cast along with Matthew Kelly, who appeared last year in Of Mice and Men.
