It's no secret that underneath the sweet and pretty surface of Christmas sometimes lurks a rather ugly season. Scratch that shiny peppermint cane, and you'll often find coal, black and bitter to the taste. There's the shrill, inescapable commercialism, the greed on both sides of the cash register, foul tempers, indifference to the needy – all that stuff Charlie Brown was complaining about 40 years ago. The Santaland Diaries, a wickedly funny play which tells the story of a man who gets a job as an elf at Macy's and witnesses firsthand all the cruelty, insensitivity, and ill will toward men committed right there in the sweet and generous heart of the season.
Comedy - Adult Situations/ Some Language – Recommended for mature audience
