All Andy wants for Christmas is an X-Files box set, some bloody common sense in politics, and maybe — just maybe — a second chance with his daughter, Maya. The holidays are the perfect time for a family reunion… right? Or will she be too busy planning to dismantle the patriarchy before pudding?
Expect awkward silences, uncomfortable truths, and more tension than a family game of Monopoly. Mike Bartlett’s SNOWFLAKE is a laugh-out-loud, lump-in-your-throat festive showdown about generational differences and why it’s never just “pass the gravy.”
