←Recommendations of Last Call Christmas

12/05/2025 - A charming and magical Christmas short. This went in directions that I was not expecting but I was pleasantly surprised nonetheless. Rachel takes certain characters that audiences are familiar with and make them her own. I love the "It's a Wonderful Life" references as well as references to more current Christmas movies like the Time Allen Santa Clause. A pure delight from beginning to end!

LAST CALL CHRISTMAS island lovely, bitter sweet short play. Like a Hallmark movie, only so much better and far more believable. No spoilers here, hence is the theme of the play. Better still, read it yourself. Really enjoyable and the perfect amout of emotion.

If this doesn’t get you in the holiday mood, I don’t know what will. I had an inkling of where the story was going, but Rachel Feeny-Williams still managed to come up with a surprise or two. What isn’t surprising is how well told and moving this lovely short play is. This is pure RFW, meaning it’s the perfect gift for the season! Cheers!

A nice little piece of Christmas cheer! Although I sort of guessed where we were headed early on, it was still a moving journey and an effective little character study from the elements that were used. A good little piece of magic realism combined with a little bit of melancholy... isn't that the makeup of many good holiday stories? This is certainly another good holiday story in that vein, to be sure. Recommended!

Amazingly inspired play about an absentee father who comes back years later and well, it seems he had a good excuse! A deceptively simple play that turned out to be very thought provoking. The author expertly juxtaposes the two time frames -- past and present -- into a smooth tale for the audience. Very different from the usual Christmas fare. I liked it.
