2. The Christmas Tree and A Child's Christmas in Wales

The Christmas Tree by Norm Foster
The kind of light-hearted comedy that puts the merry in Merry Christmas
Late one Christmas Eve a man and a woman both claim the last, lonely tree on the tree lot. Who should get it? Each gives reasons, through ever expanding tales of woe, as to why they should take the tree home. Each is unmoved by the other’s predicament. A story filled with laughs, heartache, and, in the end true Christmas spirit. Two people in the cast...fun enough for twenty !

A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas
The timeless Welsh Christmas masterpiece
Dylan Thomas’s wonderful short story in which he reminisces about his Christmases as a child on Cwmdonkin Drive in Swansea, with its beautifully poetic language, will be presented as a staged reading. As the Narrator tells the story, we see Young Dylan together with some of his childhood friends and his various Aunts and Uncles as they re-live events on a Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in the early 1920s. Stories such as Mrs Prothero and the firemen, Singing Carols outside a “haunted house” and Christmas dinner with Dylan’s cigar-smoking uncles and brandy-nipping aunts will surely bring a smile to your faces. The original story will be supplemented with appropriate music which we anticipate being brought to you by several local singers.
