ON THE PISTE

A group of novice skiers hurtle into chaos in John Godber’s Olivier‑nominated comedy, a sharp and funny look at the highs and humiliations of the perfect winter getaway. Chris, Alison, Bev and Dave arrive on the slopes armed with designer ski gear but very little skill, quickly discovering that courage is harder to find than confidence. Their glamorous instructor Tony turns heads, while Melissa, travelling alone, adds further distraction. As lessons, flirtations and frustrations pile up, tensions rise both on and off the piste. With après‑ski emotions running high, this fast‑paced, exhilarating play captures the pretensions, mishaps and thrills of a ski holiday gone gloriously wrong.
