Comic disasters, bruised egos, and a richly autobiographical search for self-expression: iconic playwright Bruce Mason takes aim at our national tall poppy syndrome. NOT CHRISTMAS, BUT GUY FAWKES is a funny, insightful portrait of overreaching and ambition, asking what it means to strive, fail, and refuse to stay small.
... A vividly told tale that has us squirming one moment and laughing the next. A joy to behold.

BROADWAY WORLD
