Steven Berkoff’s arresting play

Harry’s Christmas by acclaimed actor and writer Steven Berkoff is a searingly dark comedy that was originally performed at The Donmar Warehouse.

This portrait of loneliness and isolation confronts the huge, often unspoken issues that affect many people for whom the end of December, rather than being a festive season, is a time when emotional pressures are at their highest.

Harry’s Christmas is playing at the King’s Head Theatre until 24 December 2022.

Harry sits alone in his London flat, counting his cards, waiting for anyone to call him; perhaps for an old friend to knock on the door, or for an old lover to appear or just for someone to have a drink with. Waiting for anyone, really. Anyone. As the dreaded Christmas Day nears his sense of isolation deepens and he falls further into the trough of despair.
