The Last Christmas: a Play Thomas Alexander

Set in real time with a script that allows for the incorporation of up to the minute news stories from the time of production, The Last Christmas is a newsroom drama in the Hollywood tradition, exposing the corporate underbelly of national news in a furious, fast-paced moral comedy/drama where the clock is always ticking. When a leading young producer on a national network runs a story her network disagrees with she finds herself bumped to the graveyard shift along with her on-air anchor. Forced to work Christmas morning amidst a skeleton staff of misfits, Sarah once more finds herself up against the network when the story of the millennium falls into her lap. With less than an hour until air, Sarah finds her sense of morality pushed to its limit as she battles to put on a story that nobody wants to hear and everybody refuses to tell. A story which could ruin Christmas once and for all.
