Join us for an evening of festive fun at Theatre Hawke’s Bay as we enjoy the laugh-out-loud comedy Twas the Fight Before Christmas.
Written by popular Kiwi playwright Devon Williamson, this sharp and witty play captures all the chaos of Christmas with family in a way we can all recognise. Widow Mary Harvey just wants a peaceful holiday, but with her strong-willed daughters, a hopeless son-in-law, a tipsy French neighbour, and an eccentric busybody barging in, things quickly spiral out of control. The result? A hilarious, heart-warming night filled with clever dialogue, colourful characters, and plenty of giggles along the way.
Critics have called the show “perfect holiday cheer” and praised its ability to balance laugh-out-loud farce with moments of real warmth and heart. It’s a festive night at the theatre guaranteed to leave you smiling.
Before the show, we’ll enjoy a delicious two-course dinner at Jarks, followed by coffee and cake at interval — the perfect ingredients for a sparkling pre-Christmas outing.
