Festive traffic

Outside is filled with lights and flurry. Inside, the tree is decorated, the final touches are being put to the rest of the set and the props are being checked and put where they are needed. The Italian contingent and half the East Oxford troupe are here. The rest of the cast will arrive tomorrow. They’ve performed this play many times before and know their lines and each other well enough to improvise if necessary. Whatever happens now the show will go on.


I'm finding it very hard at the moment to work out where the stars and hearts are coming from, but thank you - much appreciated.
