Shortlisted for the Cambridge Footlights Harry Porter Prize for new comic writing, To Have and To Hold, with its veritable catalogue of bridesmaids, guns, champagne, goats and high-octane corpse-dancing, tells the story of Lucy as she watches her best friend's wedding turn into the most bizarre evening of her life. There are only two things that can bring a dinner party to complete silence. One is the dinging of a crystal wine glass. The other is a gunshot. And Lucy can't decide which to use. Things are about to get awkward.

More details

Shortlisted for this year's Cambridge Footlights Harry Porter Prize, To Have and to Hold is a biting new comedy that tells the story of Lucy, a cynical and bored twenty-something-year-old, as she watches her best friend's wedding turn into the most bizarre evening of her life.

At the wedding reception, Lucy meets Tristan, a charming young graphic-designer, and instantly falls for him. Armed with champagne and wit, the two attempt to make it through the evening as painlessly as possible, but they are prevented at every turn by an ensemble of the oddest wedding guests you could find - apathetic fathers, racist uncles, dead aunties, mysterious strangers, elderly waiters, slightly suicidal ex-boyfriends and even the odd goat or two.
