Xmas Factor, The Play Script by Trevor Hughes

Xmas Factor, The Trevor Hughes For Bob and June Holliday Christmas Eve is always stressful as they prepare for their ill assorted family to descend upon them, but this year unexpected situations arise to turn their annual drama into a comical crisis. As if Bob’s overbearing mother being excluded from sheltered housing accommodation pending a charge of manslaughter wasn’t bad enough, his daughter and her uninvited boyfriend want him to give her away dressed as a character from ’Star Wars’. With her father attempting to be the life and soul of the party and failing miserably and her mother viewing the world though an alcoholic haze, the last thing June needs is to discover Bob has been keeping unwelcome, life-changing, news from her. The day deteriorates further when Bob’s Aunt, in her quest for husband number five, tries seducing his mother’s ’quiet’ gentleman friend and his father-in-law’s embarrassing mishap sends him to A and E. But nothing compares to the unannounced arrival of a ‘distant’ relative whose astonishing revelation has surprising consequences in more ways than one. Prices Note.

Read Sample Pages Reviews We’ve all been there. Nightmare Christmases when warring family factions are brought forcibly together and seasonal goodwill is still born. Into the Holliday family’s horrific household talented writer/director Trevor Hughes packs more envy, black humour, back-biting and malice than any family could resolve. ... a complex confection of adroit characterisations, laced with a shot of black humour and rounded off with a generous dollop of belly laughs. It is seasonally-appropriate without being pantomime, comedy without cliché, fun without filth. The Xmas Factor is certainly a Christmas cracker of a show.
