A high octane, energetic, festive show from an award-winning creative team, with an incredible soundtrack, that tells the story from an invisible community.
It’s the 23rd of December and Dave is preparing his Christmas tradition – to party like it's 1994, the drinks are flowing, the music is pumping. Tonight's going to be a good night. Until the buzz from his phone stops the noise - bringing him back to the real world.
It’s a text that gives him the chance to create a new Christmas tradition and meet his grandson for the first time. Join Dave on this epic festive quest as he battles to buy a Christmas present for his six-year-old grandson.
First produced in 2019, to sell out audiences at Alphabetti Theatre and described as:
‘Beautifully written and powerfully performed, this alternative Christmas fable by Alphabetti Theatre is packed with humour and heart.’
