A collection of five Christmas-themed short plays from New York City's acclaimed Flea Theater. From a family sitting down to read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" with unexpected results (Not a Creature Was Stirring), to elves rapping about bloody films (Holiday Movies), to an irreverent take on the story of Jesus' birth (Away in the Manger), these comedies and dramas take on the holiday season like never before.

    "[Len Jenkin's Christmas Song is] elegantly written... A brief snapshot of a few lonely individuals in a boarding house, it's tender and heartfelt."
