Dublin. The night before Christmas and Mr and Mrs Walls are preparing for the arrival of their son, Joseph, and his new bride, Mary. But all is not as it seems for Mrs Walls' happy family. She's afraid she's being watched, whilst all around there's distressing talk of hobby horses, prawn wontons and underpants. Colin Teevan's darkly comic play examines the gradual disintegration of a house, a family and their favourite song.
