Nora, his impetuous teenage daughter, is the first to break the sacred rule. Then the Study Club is interrupted againethis time by a domineering mother-in-law who never hesitates to speak her mind. The last intruder is Reverend Fowler who stops by for a little Shakespeare and then makes an astonishing revelation that leads to Christmas insanity. Written by the master of unexpected comedy, this is a happy play to launch your Christmas season. One int. set. Approximate running time: 90 minutes.
