Christmas Vacation

Set in 1997, over fifty years after the war that brought them together, three Special Operations Executive agents meet to record interviews for a television documentary investigating the murder of their colleague at the hands of the Gestapo.

As Leo, Vera and John wait to be interviewed in a beautiful English garden, drinking tea and doing the crossword, pleasantries give way to deeper darker subjects and a web of self-deception, lies and guilt begins to emerge.

Love, revenge and feelings of guilt are at the centre of this fascinating play and in an era when ‘alternative facts’ replace actual facts, we are reminded that the first victim of war is the truth.
