This is a very funny Christmas play, laugh-out-loud funny. Your family may be dysfunctional, and if it is, you will recognize them in this drama. If your family isn't dysfunctional, then you can get a good darkly humorous look at what the rest of us are dealing with here. And, more to the point, if your family is really not dysfunctional, can I join?
