“
A gripping, sardonic reinvention of the Nativity, replete with some genuinely enthralling action and great puns, often at the same time. Sapio deserves credit for retelling a story everyone knows without belaboring the point. And the script is just damn clever, what with three wise guys and the blink-and-you-missed-it reference to Bethlehem. Way fun. ”

“
A hilarious, high-octane alternate universe take on the birth of Christ, loaded with clever puns and wordplay! I have never seen so many corpses in a nativity story before, and after reading this Christmas comedy, I think that's a damned shame! The feminist subtext was a personal favorite addition, but stick around for the laugh-out-loud final image, which will stick with you long after the twelve days of Christmas have come and gone! It may be unorthodox, but this ridiculous little love story has two great roles, high stakes, and enough unexpected whimsy for everyone! ”

I had the great pleasure of producing this piece as an audio play for my podcast. This thrilling and tense encounter between the fleeing daughter of a mobster and the well-meaning young man he sent to find her works brilliantly as a piece of audio theatre and an alternative to your standard Christmas show! So, if you're looking for a fun back and forth with moments of tension that will have you leaning forward in your chair then this is the play for you! ”
