A cracker of a Christmas comedy!
From the critically acclaimed writer of The Dance of Jeremiah comes this wonderful Christmas comedy about fake snow, fairy lights and the great Australian dream.
In a cul-de-sac in Brisbane suburbia a selection of households with residents from very different walks of life decide to enter the Brisbane Christmas Lights Competition. La Boite Theatre Company’s last production of 2007 promises to make you and all the family laugh out loud.
Welcome to Dickens Court. Old-fashioned battler Bob Jones has lost his job. His neighbour Eugene just bought a mail-order bride but is now in debt to the Russian mafia, and the snobs across the road are desperate to buy a trendy new beachfront apartment. When they discover the grand prize in the Christmas Lights Competition can solve their respective money problems, the neighbourhood goes to war.
“It’s Christmas, Foster. People want blinking lights and rosy happy endings. They want simple and straightforward. Now start gluing thongs on the Wise Men.”
