HO! HO! HO! (2014)

Libretto by Kate Chadwick

„…Delightful and absurd brat-in-a-video-game-store romp…“
(The Austin Chronicle, Wayne Alan Brenner, April 14, 2017)

About:
It is November 25th, 2014. We are in the video game section of a chic toy store in New York City. A thirteenyearold boy (Nick, he wears a Star Wars shirt and has a filthy, thriftstore backpack on) holds a video game cartridge. His dad’s girlfriend, Helena, comes up to him, arms crossed. She’s clutching a Louis Vuitton bag. Her hair is perfect.
