What is it about?

Harry Isaacs is taking his entire family on a holiday to the Cotswalds. His wife Judy can’t understand his newfound enthusiasm for coach trips, his mother is keeping an eye on Harry’s business partner, Eddie, and nobody knows why deaf old Mrs Angelo has been invited. Perhaps Harry is up to something…and perhaps some of the family know more than they are letting on. The story is based on the biblical story of Jacob and Esau.

You are also allowed under the terms of our licence, to photograph and make one video of the work, subject to the reminder that you ought to obtain permission from those involved in the production before publishing any photos or footage.
