Well, it started well.
Traditional family Christmas, complete with rows and deaf relations. Then some dude walks in and starts insulting everyone for no apparent reason. His missus turns up. She has a song. Until this point I was thinking it could be a quality drama about family politics and the like, but then..
The set changes into some form of TV studio, and the actors spend probably the best part of 90 minutes deviating between song and entirely random ensemble speaking guff. Finally, we have a few minutes of a conversation. Where the characters went for those middle 90 minutes, I've no idea. Nor have I any idea what Crimp was trying to say with this production (or what Cooke was on when he commissioned it for performance!).
No wonder there was no interval, the Royal Court would have been emptied!
One almighty misfire, in my eyes.
