I have to confess that I'm not particularly fond of playwright/director Alan Ayckbourn's brand of British farce. I just don't think it translates very well to American audiences, and it requires the actors involved to sport solid accents, or it loses its credibility. That's why I was a bit surprised by the St. Louis Actors' Studio's choice of his work, SEASON'S GREETINGS, as their holiday offering. They're best known, to me at least, for their edgy premieres and inspired revivals, so this is something of a disappointment. Perhaps, they were drawn to it's sudden violence and black comic trappings, but it just doesn't suit them as well as it might.
Food Network gets in the holiday spirit with three weekends of themed cooking blocks with premiere episodes of daytime favorites featuring new specials: Holiday Kitchen Takeover with Giada and Sabrina, Barefoot Holiday: Back to Brooklyn and All-Star Cookies.
