Synopsis: | It's a "Broken" take on a Christmas classic as three playwrights conspire to irreverently update Dickens' masterpiece for the 21st Century. Scrooge gets shoved out of the spotlight when two Jewish kids search for the true meaning of Christmas, a lapsed homeboy is spooked into keeping it real, and Bob Cratchit pimps his family out to reality T.V. Filled with laughs, gasps, and (we swear) real Christmas Spirit, A Broken Christmas Carol will haunt you like "an undigested bit of beef." This ain't your daddy's Christmas Carol. | |||||
