Overview

Christmas Crackers is the hilariously funny sequel to Kidnapped at Christmas, written by Willis Hall for Christmas 1975. Crosby and Gilbert, our two convicts, are spending a lonely Christmas Eve eating baked beans on the stage of an empty theatre when they encounter their old enemies - Detective Constable Grummett (and his wife and son) and Mullins and Macbain (now promoted to Constables - 'evening all'). Add a failed beauty queen, some pantomime costumes, and a green skeleton and an evening of fun is assured for all.
