Tess’s parents work for the emergency services and that has always meant that Christmas celebrations have to be a moveable feast. Today is no different, and Tess, her Gran, and her Uncle Mike are once more awaiting their arrival. But something is different this time, and if everything is changing, then maybe the stories they tell have to change too?
Maybe traditions need to be reworked to fit in with this new narrative?
They pass the time telling their stories in turns, breaking off for the odd musical interlude. As they do, we see a picture of how one family forms its traditions, and we recognise how those traditions matter most, when there are problems on the horizon.
The Last Noel is a bittersweet story about three generations of a family getting ready to celebrate Christmas. It is a play with songs, laughs, tears, mulled beverages, and a kiss of nostalgia.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
