Presented by Weeping Spoon Productions and STATE OF PLAY

An all-new 'regency romp for DIE HARD fans of action comedy.' 

You know the story. It's Christmas eve and all retired naval captain John Maclaine really wants is to win back the love of his estranged fiancé. Instead, he finds himself caught up in a fight to take back Nakatomi Manor from a nefarious band of Bavarian Barbarians lead by the villainous Herr Gruber... On second thoughts, maybe you don't quite know this version of the story.

From the mad geniuses who brought you Austen inspired comedy sensation Sense & Spontaneity and the time-travelling literary detective thriller Jane Austen: Private Eye comes the ultimate mash-up of mad cap action and feel-good regency romance that you never knew you needed in life.
