About This Show
Commissioned by the City Theatre in Pittsburgh in 2002, outrageous playwright Christopher Durang turns the “sickeningly sweet” traditional “holiday show” on its head in Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge. Without ruining all the twists and turns of this frenetic romp, ask yourself: What if Scrooge was visited by a Ghost of Christmas who couldn’t keep her magic from malfunctioning? What if Mrs. Bob Cratchit actually despised her life? How would a humbug cope if planted in The Gift of the Magi, It’s a Wonderful Life or Touched by an Angel? Mrs. Bob offers holiday hilarity that is certain to surprise, and will make you wonder how much rum is in your Eggnog. BRT favorite Jo Twiss plays the title role in this brash Holiday alternative.
