I saw a production of this fun and funny 10 minute play at the Actors Theatre Playhouse in NH this weekend. This short play takes a pot shot at any and all silly Christmas movies. What a hoot.

Thank you Mr Vinero, for saving me from enduring two hours of a Hallmark Christmas film with your clever, witty, perfectly sarcastic ten minute play! This is a wonderfully astute look at the twee holiday television schedule and I do expect, if staged, there to be seventeen commercial breaks throughout! Very clever!

I “hear” there is a drinking game associated with Christmas tv movies. Every time a stereotypical Christmas moment happens, you take a shot. That would be a dangerous game to play with Vinero’s Christmas-latte-confection. You would be inebriated five minutes into the play. Vinero hits all the Hallmark-trope-frosting-covered-elf moments with sprinkles on top. If the sugars of the season are leaving you jumpy, the antidote is right here. Read it! Better yet, produce it.
