It is Christmas and a cockney family are
gathered for Christmas dinner: unemployed Dad, his son Martin, Martin’s
girlfriend Jenny and his auntie.
However, the bailiffs take all the family’s worldly possessions including
their turkey dinner. Faced with the prospect of beef dripping and struggling
to cope with their poor Christmas, the family imagine themselves in happier
situations: auntie goes shopping; Jenny ice-skates; Martin joins the circus.
After the theft of the neighbour’s dinner by Dad, the play concludes with
Dad rubbishing auntie’s claims items have been disappearing due to the
Tinies. At which point, the fairy-like creatures appear and turn Dad into a
budgie who flies away into the night.
