    Recently I had the great honour of producing it as an audio play for Theatrical Shenanigans. Its a brilliantly funny piece that starts off intriguing the audience about what 'The Santa Thing' possibly could be and, as you are told about the 'interesting' relationship Taylor has with Santa and start to discover the truth yourself, as an audience member it makes it all the funnier still. Such a joy to produce and needs more productions!

    A delightful illustration of how visiting your partners' parents lets you see your partner in a brand new light--in this case, before you even ring the doorbell!

    "The Santa Thing" by Greg Lam is adorably sweet and funny. A heartwarming addition to any holiday short play festival. Greg Lam's characters are so endearing that we want to invite them to our dinners.
