Rules for Living
In association with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival
A family that plays together sleighs together...
A familiar premise – the family Christmas fraught with tensions and habitual misunderstandings – is upended into a theatrically inventive, hilarious comedy about the coping strategies we each adapt in life, for better or worse.
Drawing on theories of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Rules for Living is an intelligent study of our perfectionist culture that exposes the fascinating and complex neurosis underneath.

Great acting and a great show!
Great show
Outstanding performance, absolutely loved it. Thank you, thank you.
Great show - really enjoyed it
Excellent acting in an intimate theatre space. Funny with intense emotional moments. Well worth seeing
Rules For Living wittingly and devastatingly demonstrates the rules we create to cope, and sadly to constrict.

Josie
really enjoyed this show - thank you.
A well acted domestic drama with moments of fun and tension we can all relate to in a great little intimate space by a company worthy of support.
Brilliant acting, script and scene setup!
Really enjoyed the show!
It was full of humour, but also drama at the same time. It is worthwhile seeing.
