RULES FOR LIVING
HILARIOUS HOLIDAY FARCE
< Back To What's OnBy Sam Holcroft
Directed by Ryan Rilette
December 3, 2025–January 4, 2026 | U.S. Premiere
A “raucous, unbridled” (The Guardian) hit at London’s National Theatre, Rules for Living has its American premiere at Round House this holiday season! The holidays are all about family, but what happens when long-standing tensions, buried resentments, and hilariously disastrous coping mechanisms collide at Christmas dinner? In this inventive, high-energy comedy, the internal rules that the characters live by become visible, turning every awkward pause, biting remark, and outburst into a brilliantly choreographed meltdown. Wickedly funny and all too relatable, this is one family holiday gathering you won’t want to miss.
