All
Claire Finley wants is the perfect Christmas. She’s
hired the celebrated gourmet chef Vilma Hasenpfeffer to
prepare her famous Hasenpfeffer Hollandaise Sauce for her
dinner guests—the new vicar and his very pregnant wife,
Mary. Unfortunately, however, the chef is late, the
guests are early and there are burglars loose in the
neighborhood. To top it all off, Claire’s father has
been hit on the head (with the crèche, no less!) and
thinks he’s the leading man in all of the West End
theatre productions of the last 30 years! With the help of
her quirky brother George, Claire tries to keep everything
together as it continues to unravel in this sidesplitting
British farce reminiscent of Arsenic
and Old Lace. But once the
mayhem dies down and the mixed-up identities unscramble, the
true Christmas spirit shines bright in a surprise ending,
which involves transformation, forgiveness and a beautiful
new beginning.
It is Christmas Eve, present day, somewhere in Cloudcroft,
We are in the living room of Philip Finley, a former actor of
the British stage.
