Rules for Living

Red Stitch presents Rules for Living

By Sam Holcroft

Directed by Kim Farrant

Australian Premiere

14 March – 16April (previews 14-17 March)

In association with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival

A family that plays together sleighs together...

A familiar premise – the family Christmas fraught with tensions and habitual misunderstandings – is upended into a theatrically inventive, hilarious comedy about the coping strategies we each adapt in life, for better or worse.

Drawing on theories of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Rules for Living is an intelligent study of our perfectionist culture that exposes the fascinating and complex neurosis underneath.

“Nothing prepared us for this play...hilarious”– The Guardian
