About This Book
Set on Christmas morning in an affluent household, the play stages a lavishly decorated parlor where a single child's mountain of presents highlights stark social contrasts. Two masked youths slip in with a box of candy and plot to drug and abduct the boy for ransom, while a watchful guard, a nurse, and a parade of household visitors interrupt and complicate the scheme. Through brisk, comic scenes suitable for young audiences, the one-act balances suspense and humor while probing themes of poverty, greed, and unexpected compassion.
