Highlights
What readers are saying
Readers are largely impressed with the dark humor and sharp writing of the play, appreciating its contemporary take on heavy themes such as victim shaming and celebrity culture. Many find it a refreshing alternative to traditional holiday theatre offerings, although a few feel it leans too heavily on shock value.
Brilliant scriptFunny and tragicUnique holiday playClever and contemporarySome found it dated

Are you looking for something different for Christmas this year?
Tired of Christmas Carol and Gift of the Magi?
Well this is the script for you: eight reindeer dishing about the real Santa.
All those rumors you've heard about him and the elves?

All true.
Yes the reindeer finally speak up and -- believe us -- they do not hold back!
