Synopsis
Everyone creates their own coping strategies or rules for living.
But what happens when an extended family gathers for Christmas and they each follow those rules, rigidly?
In Sam Holcroft's theatrically playful, dark comedy, long-held mechanisms for survival are laid bare and everyone, even Mum, becomes embroiled.
Rules for Living premiered at the National Theatre in March 2015.
