SUMMARY:A Kidman Carol: A Gay Dementia on Australian Dames
DESCRIPTION:Get into the spirit of the season … Awards Season\, that is\, with this inappropriate\, irreverent and truly bananas take on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. \nWhat started off as a joke is now an irreverent comedy loosely based on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Brilliant actress and Hollywood Scrooge Cate Blanchett (“Tár Humbug!”) is visited by three different spirits of fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman in order to learn the true meaning of Awards Season. A Kidman Carol is a vicious\, chaotic farce that sends up Tár\, The Hours\, Carol\, The Lord of The Rings\, The Undoing\, The Others\, Notes on a Scandal\, Blue Jasmine\, Big Little Lies\, and so much more from the Kidman/Blanchett canon. Ohr nohr! \n‍Part of the Alleyworks Development Series‍

SUMMARY:Christmas with C.S. Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Christmas with C.S. Lewis \nIn the early years of his young adult life C S Lewis believed the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author\, J R R Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general\, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas\, for Lewis\, took on an entirely different meaning. \nHere we find him at his home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans who are Christmassing in England. They are about to experience an unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections which stimulates a whole range of emotions – curiosity\, laughter\, gladness and even some tears. Above all\, they will discover how that encounter with Tolkien forever changed his Christmas celebrations.
