A scathing and bitterly amusing attack on the increasing powerful and narcissistic super rich, set against a back drop of terrifying state oppression. Our adaptation of this timeless classic is set in a Banking management Christmas do, where it becomes clear that alcohol and arrogance do no mix as well together as a Christmas cocktail… . In a world ruled by the 1%, this production allows you an insight into privilege and power. Once centred around values of community and charity, Christmas has now become commercialised increasing the societal wealth gap at a time where 7.9 million people fall into debt due to the pressures of consumer culture.
