“Santaland Diaries” at Shakespeare & Co.
Now - December 30
From one of contemporary literature’s most celebrated humorists comes this delightfully unhinged tale of the dark side of Christmas. The Santaland Diaries is an entertaining one-man show adapted from the popular essay that launched author David Sedaris into the national spotlight. This charismatic and bitingly funny little tale is a depiction of what the modern holidays are really all about. Occasionally subversive, alarmingly clever, engagingly poignant and always side-splittingly funny, The Santaland Diaries is a true account of Sedaris’ time spent working as a Christmas elf at Macy’s. The one-man show stars Peter Davenport and is directed by Tony Simotes. (Not recommended for children under 13.)
