The Six-Days World

A small town in the south east of England. Eddie returns home for a peaceful family Christmas for the first time in many years. But the recriminations of his parents and girlfriend on his failings as a son and as a man force dormant conflicts to the surface and raise the ghosts of Christmases past…

Written and developed as part of an attachment at the National Theatre Studio, Elizabeth Kuti evokes both the poignancy and the poison of Christmas in a powerful examination of how families deal with their history.
