The plot is built around the musings of a single character, played by Paul Steger, who begins the play by scoffing at a classified ad for seasonal employment as a Santaland Elf at Macy's. As his elfin alter ego, "Crumpet," he alternates between introspective ramblings, to over-the-top outbursts, to biting mean-spirited descriptions, with maybe just a crumb of holiday spirit thrown in. Not suitable for younger than 13.
