THE STORY: Past, present and future collide on a snowy Christmas Eve for a troubled family of five. Humorous and heart-wrenching, this beautifully written play by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of How I Learned to Drive proves that magic can be found in the simplest breaths of life.

"[a] lovely and hauntingly original family dramaa work that breathes so much life into the theater." - Time Out NY. "[a] delicate visual feastWhen theatergoers talk about a play as a religious experience, they usually just mean that it had charismatic performances or some exciting dance numbersPaula Vogel is not indulging in such hyperbole. She means her play to be a religious experience in the way that a Christmas Mass might be for committed Roman Catholics: an exalted communal ritual of redemption and solaceIt's enough to make even die-hard agnostics believein the mystical powers of drama." - NY Times. "brutal and lovelythe overall effect is magical." - NY Newsday. "Vogel remainsthe best playwright writing today." - Sun Chronicle (Providence).
