The Holly and the Ivy
Set in a Norfolk vicarage on Christmas Eve 1947, the vicar’s family gather for the festive season. Peace and goodwill radiates from the warm-hearted elderly vicar, cared for by his young daughter.
But with the arrival of two irritable aunts and an errant daughter, the emotional veneer is skilfully peeled away. As skeletons tumble from closets and stones are turned over, family members are forced to confront their regrets and secret anxieties. Even the lovable vicar is not immune to the
stresses and strains of a normal family life.
This atmospheric and absorbing human story, which stars the doyen of Welsh actors
Philip Madoc along with Tom Butcher (The Bill/Doctors), Zoie Kennedy (The Royal) and Corrinne Wicks (Doctors), is a perfect warmer for the festive season.
