This short play is so wonderful in its story details and that's because of John Patrick Bray's skills. The setting, rich and detailed and full of possibilities. The characters and their backstories and shared personal history? Same. I also love the themes of generosity, of apology and (perhaps) acceptance, of letting go and moving forward. "A Johnnie Walker Blue Christmas" is a feel-good play. It is, indeed, peace on Earth and goodwill to man. [24/09/26]

Sometimes you read something that completely blows you away. It can be unexpected when this happens but happened it did. This play is brilliant on every level. It’s profound. It’s stellar. There is simply not enough accolades I can provide that do it justice. You must read this play. It’s worth it!

I was fortunate enough to attend a reading of this play, and it has stayed with me ever since. Transported into the world of Randy and Stoge, amidst the flickering Santa and the soul-stirring saxophone melodies outside the stage is set beautifully. With authentic dialogue and rich characterizations, the playwright skillfully delves into themes of forgiveness, redemption, remorse, and the essence of generosity. Pour yourself a glass and dig in! Bravo John.
