Set in a radio-recording studio, the play is a departure from traditional Christmas fare, promising a witty, offbeat perspective that is characteristic of difficult|stage\u2019s oeuvre.<\/p>\n

The company, founded by three young dramatists, is committed to bringing bold, experimental pieces to audiences in Wales.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope this piece rocks the boat and divides people. It would be great if audiences either love it or hate it,\u201d says Fran\u03c2ois Pandolfo, its writer and co-founder of difficult|stage.<\/p>\n

The Other Room\u2019s<\/a> artistic director, Kate Fasserberg, is confident it will make an impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth satirising and celebrating the British tradition of the Christmas radio play, this piece will bite as it charms, and provoke our audience even as it makes them laugh until they cry,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
