This charming Christmas comedy was created by local writer, Chris Dickins, for Nautilus Theatre Project as pre-Christmas family entertainment.
Set in suburban Melbourne in December 1956. the play was designed to appeal to all ages. Those with childhood memories of the Olympic Games in Melbourne and television’s arrival could bask in the nostalgia, children could be caught up in the magical aspects of the story and those in between could enjoy the antics of the vivid characters and sympathise with the dilemmas they face.
The story concerned young suburban families, some of them long time residents and their new neighbours recently arrived from overseas.
