style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"><FONT
face="Times New Roman"><FONT size=3>When Tracy Brigden, artistic director of
City Theatre in Pittsburgh, invited Durang to write a comic “alternative”
Christmas play, the playwright immersed himself in yuletide literature and
movies. What emerged for him was the dominance of two works: <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">A Christmas Carol</I> and Frank Capra’s 1946
film, <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">It’s a Wonderful
Life</I>.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"><FONT
face="Times New Roman"><FONT size=3>In the afterword to his play, Durang
explains that “somewhere in the midst of relooking at the Dickens story, I
suddenly wondered what would happen if Mrs. Bob Cratchit – who is barely in the
story or in the movies, but merely exists as a stoic, “good” mother and wife,
who bears all the family’s suffering with never a complaint – just hated her
life and wanted out.”<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoBodyText2 style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>And thus was born <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Mrs. Bob
Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge</I>. The play introduces us to Gladys Cratchit –
a Victorian-era Desperate Housewife, perhaps? – who cuts a mean profile as a
hard-drinking, slightly suicidal, stressed-out woman of 21 children. Between her
multiple attempts to drown herself by jumping from the London Bridge, the play
introduces (and re-imagines!) the other fabled <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Christmas Carol</I> characters, including
Scrooge, the Fezziwigs, and a sassy three-in-one Ghost of Christmas
Past/Present/Future. For a loony mix of loopy fun, Durang also sprinkles in
references to other Dickens novels, O. Henry’s <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">The Gift of the Magi</I> and even the sappy
TV drama <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Touched by an
Angel</I>.</FONT></P>

style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">with Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas
Binge</I> rather than creating a caustic satire. “Parody is friendlier, less
pointed,” he writes in his play’s afterword, “and doesn’t really have any
purpose beyond entertaining – and entertaining partially by playing free and
fast with what we know about certain works.”</FONT></P>
