There's only a hint of the holiday – music on the radio, and plums being pitted - but that's okay, we're still a ways away from the big day. Still, this is a marvelous snapshot of the season between English speakers (Anglophones) in Provence with gentle banter, distant gunshots, and ornithomythological info-dumping. My kind of people. There's also a lovely message of hope at the end of these two delightful minutes.

Christmas is a heightened time when the vulnerable need and seek sanctuary. Thankfully, this hunted partridge finds such sanctuary in this sweet couples pear tree. A lovely opening to the twelve days of Christmas by Nora.
Tiny_Theatre bought this piece to life in their usual talented way, so do listen in!

I love the atmosphere that Nora Louise Syran creates in this very short play. Christmas season, indoors, a loving empty-nest couple working side-by-side in a kitchen - it feels cozy, which is different to the action outside.

"A Perdrix in a Pear Tree" isn't driven by conflict. Instead, enjoy the setting it inhabits the the atmosphere imbued within it.
