“I swear if you existed I'd divorce you.”
It’s Christmas Eve, 2am. The presents are wrapped. The reindeer are fed. Santa and Martha Claus are trapped in a destructive cycle of love and self loathing. When Martha invites two unsuspecting workshop elves into their toxic little world, a night of festive drinks soon turns into a dangerous cocktail of truths and revelations.
From Half Trick Theatre comes Who’s Afraid of Santa Claus? - a very festive parody of a 'radical, provocative, and unflinching' classic of the American stage.
Drop in for a nightcap and brace yourself.
"Half Trick Theatre certainly know how to entertain." – Broadway Baby
