From The Milton Rooms and Park House, in association with English Touring Theatre, comes a World Premiere of a new play by internationally renowned playwright Jim Cartwright (Road; The Rise and Fall of Little Voice).
It is Christmas. In the old village hall, villagers are setting up their stalls for the annual fair.

Young love seems imminent, the vicar has his mind elsewhere, Veronica needs all hands on deck to make this fair a success and the caretaker just wants to go home.
