Easy Laughter

In this expertly executed satire, audiences will join the Simpson family as they frantically prepare for their annual celebration of “Christtide”. Christtide is almost like Christmas, in very much the same way that the world of Shearman’s play is almost the world we live in today: mothers worry about wrinkles, fathers drink whiskey, and children play, but something is amiss.

This dark and twisted comedy explores an alternate reality full of not-so-natural selection, xenophobia, fundamentalism, extreme gender roles and censorship, while expertly revealing a subtler horror story surrounding the lies that families tell each other and the lengths they will go to protect themselves through laughter.
