About

Irene and Arthur have decked out their modest Dublin farmhouse for the holidays, eager to welcome home their self-made millionaire friend Declan,  returning after years in New Zealand. But beneath the festive façade lies a plan to secure their own future, if they can just keep up appearances. Cheer gives way to tension, and the promise of a merry Christmas turns into a reckoning nobody expected.

A clever and fast-paced comedy about pride, greed, and the desperate need to look successful, Many Happy Returns unwraps the hilarity and discomfort that can only come with surviving an awkward family Christmas.

Audience Care: This play features mild adult language and a brief sequence of flashing lights. Recommended for people 16 years and over.
