ONE WEEKEND ONLY!
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Written by Anthony Neilson
Directed by Robert Pescovitz
December 3 - December 6, 2009
Furious Theatre's smash-hit production of THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS returns to the stage for only four nights this holiday season. Don't miss your chance to catch this "adult's only" comedy as two cockney thugs discover what could be a real-life elf during the night shift at a London warehouse on Christmas Eve. A hooker with a (somewhat) heart of gold also shows up expecting to collect the coveted toy of the season, which was promised to her in exchange for sexual favors. Together, the three try to sort out if the elf is real and may just stumble upon the true meaning of Christmas.
