Obie Award winner Durang takes on some of the holiday season’s sacred cows.
Gladys Cratchit has had it.  There are 21 foundlings in the basement and
that whiney Tiny Tim just won’t shut up.  One day she flips, takes to drink
and tries to throw herself off a bridge.  Sound familiar?  Meanwhile,
Ebenezzer Scrooge gets a visit from the Ghost of Christmases Past, Present,
and Future, and a life lesson is not far around the corner.  However, it
seems something is wrong with the Ghost’s abilities to do her job, and she
and Scrooge go on a humorous ride that lets several classic holiday tales
have it.  Although this semi-musical is based on A Christmas Carol, it
quickly spins out of control, colliding with It’s a Wonderful Life and The
Gift of the Magi.
