About the Production
​
Alcoholidays follows a couple, Meg and Jacob, as they navigate (and drink) their way through the dysfunctional reality of obligatory party-hopping during the Christmas holidays. From the English Department's office party to those with family and friends, the social minefields of the most wonderful time of the year give us a very funny "Yuletide story with a twist" (Rodney Brazil, director).
About the Characters
