Presented by UpStage at the Playhouse Written by Nat Newman | Directed by Bron Sartori
Produced by One for the Road Productions
It’s the week before Christmas and all throughout Newcastle… Betty and Trish are negotiating their first Christmas since their divorce. Their grown-up kids Pax and Annabel aren’t ready to give up their Christmas Eve family traditions, but Betty wants to start something new. Pax doesn’t know which mum he should introduce his new girlfriend to first, and Annabel just wants someone to notice her.
Meanwhile, at the Planning Department, Trish tries to wrangle her colleagues, Simmo and Joey, in the busy period before Christmas shutdown. Simmo is looking for love in all the wrong places and Joey is having feelings for someone who is definitely not available.
And down on the street, where Myron collects loose change and bottles, everyone complains about the pothole in the middle of the road, but nobody will do anything about it.
As Christmas Eve approaches, it will take a miracle to give everyone what they want - but they might just get what they need.
This two-act play is a very Newcastle take on the Christmas season, with a diverse range of families and friends, well-loved locations, and a joyful spirit to get every Novocastrian in the mood for the holiday season.
