A NICE FAMILY CHRISTMAS
SYNOPSIS
Carl, a young newspaper reporter, is on his last chance to save his job. His assignment: write a heart-warming story about a "typical family Christmas." He heads home to his recently widowed mother, eccentric uncle, and sharp-tongued grandmother, only to find his crazy family has anything but a typical Christmas in store for him.
As the family gathers, chaos ensues and their secrets and dysfunctions are revealed. Tensions mount when they discover Carl is writing an article spilling all their personal information. Can the magic of Christmas truly bring this dysfunctional family together? Find out in this laugh-out-loud comedy about the often-messy reality of family holidays.
All performances are in English. Tickets on sale now!

REHEARSED READINGS
What is a Rehearsed Reading?
Rehearsed Readings are a unique way to experience a theatrical piece for a reduced price in a relaxed, cabaret-style setting. Unlike our full-scale productions, these readings feature minimal set, lighting, props, costumes, and sound effects. Actors perform with a script in hand and have typically rehearsed just a few times.
It's a chance for our community to explore a play in its early stages. These readings are sometimes later transferred to a larger venue for a full production, but that is not always the case.
Event Details
Our venues typically have space for 40-50 people, so tickets sell out quickly! All venues offer a small selection of drinks, and some also offer small snacks. Your seat might be at a small table.
-
General Admission: All rehearsed readings are 'general admission,' which means seats cannot be selected at the time of booking and are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
-
Start Time: Rehearsed readings typically start slightly earlier than our full-scale productions, so check the specific details for the show to make sure you're on time! Doors usually open 30 minutes before the start time.
-
Tickets: Our venues vary. Please check the information above for ticket details, locations, and availability.
Support ZEST
As a volunteer-run organisation, our Rehearsed Readings are a wonderful opportunity to support ZEST and our mission to bring English theatre to Zurich. By becoming a ZEST member, you help make these kinds of events possible and gain access to special performances.
