Catherine Tate looks set to star in a new revival of Alan Ayckbourn’s Season’s Greetings at the National Theatre. According to the Daily Mail the comedy star, last seen on stage in Under the Blue Sky in 2008, will lead the cast in Marianne Elliott‘s production, which opens in the NT Lyttelton in December. Tate will play Belinda, who falls for her sister’s boyfriend during the course of a calamitous family Christmas gathering. It won’t be the first time Tate has graced a National Theatre stage – in her pre-Doctor Who days she appeared in The Way Of The World and The Prince’s
Play.
