“

This is a wonderfully funny tale of Christmas meets technology and the chaos that can ensue as a result. Jonathan has a wonderful imagination and tells a story of what would happen if Santa (and Christmas) went online only! Its got wonderfully funny moments coupled with witty back and forth dialogue coupled that is sure to leave you with a festive warm feeling by the end. Just brilliant!

Very clever, funny play about Santa trying to automate Christmas through drone deliveries, etc. It’s cute and charming, and very timely.
