    The Redeemers is funny, clever, dark, yet oddly poignant. It's also a perfect piece for a scrappy company of actors; no theatre, no sets, no costumes, no problem. Reach out to your favorite local pub and uphold the proud tradition of telling stories over drinks on a cold December night.

    Bright, sharp, holiday-themed, millennial career angst in theatre form... in a bar. REDEEMERS is a joy (in an off-beat, pour-me-another kind of way) with just enough Dickens to make you wonder--who deserves to be haunted by their past?

    If A CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE OFFICE, and SUCCESSION had a hilarious and heart-felt lovechild, it would be this play. Simple to produce, directly told to the audience, and full of humor, wit, and big questions like can we ever really change - and can we let those around us do the same, this play is a delight and an unsung holiday hero.
