Former movie star Julie Bascov insists on taking Christmas seriously - despite her family’s reminders that that they are in fact Jewish.

The Invention of Love

Curtains are twitching and tongues are wagging in Shakespeare’s suburban comedy of mischief and double-dealing where the women get the last laugh.
